Episode Synopsis

This AI generated podcast discusses a paper on urban digital twins. This paper begs the question what has been their contribution to urban planning and decision making so far? The paper identifies three categories in socio-technical challenges: interdisciplinary integration (II), consensual contextualization (CC), and procedural operationalization (PO). Accordingly, we consolidate a socio-technical research and development agenda to realize the ambitions of UDTs for urban planning and decision making: Augmented Urban Planning (AUP).The paper can be found here: Azadi et al., What Have Urban Digital Twins Contributed to Urban Planning and Decision Making?
