Urban planning with digital twins
Thomas Eichhorn,
Managing director, state agency for geoinformation and surveying of the free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg
Integrated digital twins and data platforms are essential in urban planning. A prime example is that of the free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg which demonstrates the implementation process to an urban data platform and shows how urban digital twins should work.

BUILDING TOMORROW - The future of Infrastructure & Cities starts today
Christian Haltiner, 
Managing Director, Dassault Systèmes Switzerland
Infrastructure & Cities should be built to last for decades, or for centuries. In the context of climate change, resource depletion, and the rapid growth of cities, it is more important than ever to incorporate sustainable development measures into everything we do. Only then, can we ensure that we meet the needs of the present without placing undue burdens on the future. Today we have the capability to put those considerations into action, and to embed sustainability in our Infrastructures & Cities, at every stage of the value chain.
