Project Description
To implement the 15-minutes city in urban areas, we need to rethink and reorganize our mobility systems. Digitalization is a key factor in this process, with digital twins being one of the promising technologies to be utilized.
Project Aim
- Develop a generic twin framwework to model potential changes to active transport infrastructure.
- Explore and simulate the impact of these changes.
- Evaluate their contribution towards the realization of a 15-minutes city.
Human-Centric Approach
To make the framework applicable within the 15-minute city context, we:
- Explicitly model and evaluate human-centric dimensions inside the digital twin.
- Establish two urban living labs in Aarhus and Eskilstuna as testbeds.
The 15-minute city is a human-centric concept, focusing on:
- A safe, clean, inclusive, and pleasant environment.
- Stimulating senses of place, community, and belonging.
- Fostering social interactions.
Stakeholder Engagement
By engaging with skateholders and incorporating their input, the CITWIN project aims to:
- Create a digital twin framework that is both effective and responsive to the needs of those it serves.
The bottom-up participatory approach involves:
- Engaging multiple stakeholders from different sectors.
- Actively involving stakeholders throughout the development process.
