Unifying the Field of Digital Twins for Urban Management

Unifying the Field of Digital Twins for Urban Management presents a holistic and integrated approach to the rapidly evolving field of digital twins for urban management. The framework offers a structured approach that encompasses both theoretical underpinnings and practical applications. It aims to provide a foundation to support enhanced decision-making, optimised resource utilisation, and improved urban resilience and sustainability. The book aims to address a lack of consistency, coherence and uniformity within current approaches, and offers a unified framework to facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange across diverse areas, such as urban management, systems thinking, data science and social science. Key features include * a systematic framework (DATUM) to unify the field of digital twins for urban management * coverage of theoretical foundations and a step-by-step methodology to guide digital twin-based interventions * a standardised language to facilitate classification,
