Cities are facing demographic changes due to strong urbanization: by 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities. They are also heavily affected by climate change impacts with the regular occurrence of natural disasters. Cities, and the entire public and private ecosystem around them, are instrumental in the battle to mitigate the impact of climate change, delivering livable cities. To do so, they must reinvent themselves and transform the way they plan and operate altogether.

At this year’s Smart City Expo World Congress, Dassault Systèmes will showcase how the Virtual Twins adoption supports cities and public services in tackling key challenges – mitigate climate change impacts, manage urban growth, respect biodiversity, and create safe cities - through science-based, innovative solutions:

  • Feasibility studies powered by the Virtual Twin help explore disaster preparedness, mobility, pollution reduction, and urban design, enabling informed policy decisions.
  • Urban Virtual Twins advance long-term planning by visualizing and managing complex systems to boost sustainability, resilience, and citizen well-being.
  • Public Safety Workforce Planning solution enables cities to efficiently forecast, schedule, and optimize personnel, equipment, and infrastructure - from strategic planning to daily operations - ensuring effective resource management across all levels.
