Mark your calendars for a new webinar ‘Smart Cities and digital twin
technology: the case of Rotterdam’
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/events/webinar-smart-cities-and-digital-twin-technology-case-rotterdam]
hosted by data.europa academy on Friday, 6 December 2024, from 10:00
to 11:00 CET. This session aims to introduce participants to the
innovative world of smart city strategies and digital twin technology,
featuring a practical example from the city of Rotterdam. 

The European Union sees open data as a cornerstone for building smart
cities that are transparent, participatory, and data driven. Digital
twin technology, which relies on open data, acts as a virtual mirror
of a city, integrating real-time data to support informed
decision-making and interactive urban planning. Rotterdam stands as a
prime example of this approach, integrating open data within its
digital twin project. Through open urban platforms and transparent
data-sharing practices, Rotterdam’s digital twin allows stakeholders
to visualise the city’s current state, engage in data-driven
planning, and co-create sustainable solutions.  

This webinar will highlight how such initiatives can transform urban
management and planning. Join a Commission Policy Officer who will
introduce the concept of smart cities and share the latest policies
and developments. Following this, participants will gain valuable
insights from Rotterdam’s digital twin experience, exploring the
technical requirements, societal benefits, and collaborative potential
of open data within smart cities. This session will showcase how data
accessibility enhances transparency and streamlines urban services,
making our cities smarter and more efficient. 

Discover how open data is revolutionising urban management and
planning and learn about the broader role of smart city initiatives in
enhancing urban environments. Do not miss this opportunity to learn
from leading experts and see how open data can power the cities of the
future. Register now
