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, are instrumental in the battle to mitigate the impact of climate change. To do so, they must reinvent themselves and transform the way they plan and operate all together.

At this year’s Smart City Expo World Congress, Dassault Systèmes will showcase how the Virtual Twins adoption can empower public and private stakeholders and leaders to embrace sustainable futures. We are convinced that key players already have the cards in hands to act from today and ensure a better quality of life for citizens, focusing on key questions to significatively raise up their game:

• How to climate proof a city?
• How to leverage science based digital transformation to develop sustainable cities?
• How to build more efficiently while securing profitability and reaching sustainability standards?
• How to deliver safe and affordable energy services to all, at all times?
• How to reinvent construction developing offsite and modular operations, reducing material waste and optimizing logistics?
