How AI is arming cities in the battle for climate resilience

Cities worldwide are utilizing digital twin technology to enhance climate resilience, with over 500 cities projected to adopt this technology by 2025. Examples include Amsterdam using the LIFE system to stabilize the grid and store energy, and Pretoria and Copenhagen optimizing waste collection through digital twins. Flood models in Lisbon are estimated to prevent 20 major floods over 100 years, showcasing the potential cost savings and disaster prevention capabilities of digital twins.

Digital twins are crucial for managing urban heat islands, predicting heat island areas, and implementing cooling interventions like tree planting. Smart energy systems powered by digital twins aid in decarbonization efforts, with cities like Amsterdam leveraging this technology to identify inefficiencies and optimize energy distribution. Challenges in implementing digital twins include stakeholder collaboration and data governance, as seen in failed projects in Toronto and Portland due to data privacy concerns.
