Digital Twin is a powerful tool for supporting cities\u2019 journey towards digitalization. Through data collection and simulation, digital twin can optimize energy consumption, enhance disaster preparation, improve mobility and transportation, visualize operation processes and outcomes and more.
\u200b\u200b
Digital Twin is not without its challenges. A vibrant, integrated, and interoperable IoT ecosystem is crucial for effective data compilation and contextualization, capturing physical properties accurately and maximizing the overall capability of digital twin.<\/p>\n<\/div>

This webinar was jointly organized by the \u200bInternational Telecommunicatio\u200bn Union (ITU)\u200b, the International Electr\u200b\u200botechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Orga\u200bnization for Standardization (ISO)\u200b. It looked at the impacts of digital twin in cities and examined the enabling role that standards play in accelerating the deployment of digital twin. The webinar brought together panelists who shared their experience in using digital twin in cities and the latest standards in this emerging field.<\/p>\n<\/div>
