A DIGITAL SMART CITY PLATFORM FOR URBAN MODELLING AND PLANNING

C-Tech project aims at researching, developing and pilot-scale a digital smart city platform for urban modelling and planning which, based on a three-dimensional representation of the city and its combination with multiple data from different data sources (from domains such as weather, energy and water consumption, mobility and, most of all, user’s behaviour as determined by their mobile phone use), will allow simulating scenarios regarding energy-efficiency of buildings, green structures, creation and urban mobility, empowering local authorities to identify and tackle specific environmental issues, overcome the global challenge of decreasing urban carbon footprint and fostering the transition to a net-zero ecosystem.

Activities

The project wants to deliver to the market a set of reliable simulators which will empower local authorities in the definition of new policies and measures to tackle climate change and foster environmental sustainability.

The pursuit these objectives involves the execution of an action plan, structured in 9 correlated and complementary Activities, covering all stages of the product development cycle. The adopted research methodology combines industrial research with experimental development, ensuring continuous validation and feedback integration.
