As cities continue connecting their urban environments, the concept of digital twins—a digital representation of real-world environments brought to life with real time data from sensors and other data sources—has entered the realm of smart cities and promises to enable city administrations and urban planners to make better decisions with the help of data integration and visualization from across the urban space.
Last year, we announced the general availability of the Azure Digital Twins platform which enables developers to model and create digital representations of connected environments like buildings, factories, farms, energy networks, railways, stadiums, and cities, then bring these entities to life with a live execution environment that integrates IoT and other data sources.
