DT Talks: Capturing the Complexity of Cities
-
An open question to all in the discussion, particularity anyone online that hasn’t posted yet. Which part of Dan’s presentation interested you the most, and what key insights will you be taking away to apply to your own work on digital twins?

Really interesting talk. It’ll be good to keep an eye on how this project progresses as there are lots of areas where this could be a world leading project and highlight the benefits and approaches that could accelerate other similar projects (as well as provide a great use case to demonstrate value).
The key points that I’ll take from this as we work on our Twin Strategy at Northumbrian Water are the importance of governance, not just in getting the twin set up, but also in the ongoing use of it. Also the importance on the inter-operability and data standards.
It would be good to know if any of these standards can be shared, along with lessons learned. It’s always a challenge between having high standards that enable high quality models, vs. lower standards that can enable greater number of data sources and participants to contribute to the model (especially when data from legacy systems and existing sensors is difficult to enhance).
Thanks

Hi Sam,
Its still very early days and we are in discussions with developers planners etc.  How we deploy and fund the DT, the governance for that development etc is still being discussed. L
earning from the project will inform future projects and a DT could be mandated through planning policy at some point.

Many thanks to @Dan and everybody on this chat for all your comments and questions.
We are now coming to the end of our live discussion, but we will keep this space open and available until the end of the day in case you have further thoughts or questions. We will continue to monitor the discussion during that time, but on a less frequent basis.
We will also add Dan’s video, along with the videos from previous talks, to this page: https://digitaltwinhub.co.uk/digital-twin-talks/
Looking ahead, our next Digital Twin Talk: The Integrated Enterprise by @KReevesDigi of Costain. We will post the video of Kevin’s talk on Monday evening and Kevin will join us for a live forum discussion on the 21st July between 10:30 and 11:30 am BST.
We are keen for as many people as possible to benefit from this excellent series of talks and discussions. Please share a link to the DT Hub with your contacts and let them know about the Twin Talks.
Thank you all very much again,
Tom Hughes – DT Hub Delivery Lead

most interested in the governance and would love to connect on this after

@Dan are you considering use of https://vu.city/ or similar services to support planning applications? I understand VU City are working with several cities in the UK and internationally and will be interested to know user experience from the client side, plus views about adopting and extending such platforms to host additional public assets in 3D maps.
