Abstract	In the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO), Digital Twins (DTs) are quickly becoming synonymous with smart cities because they create the ability to interact virtually with all physical smart devices in the built environment at all levels of the Smart City. The need for replicas goes all the way back to the 1960s, when NASA created physical replicas of spaceships and connected them to simulators to develop workshop solutions on the ground. DTs are simply building blocks of the metaverse that function as a real-time digital copy of a physical object. Based on data from the physical asset or system, the physical twin (PT), a DT unlocks value in supporting smart decision-making by combining artificial intelligence (AI) with the internet of things (IOT). A classification of DTs and their use in the AECO industry is discussed, the differences between cyber physical systems (CPS) and IoT and between building information modeling (BIM) and DT are emphasized and platforms for implementing DTs are compared as well as the different understanding of DTs within the context of Smart Cities. © 2025 Chady Elias, Isabelle Southern, Raja R.A.
