| Abstract | Smart cities are turning to Digital Twins to solve urbanization and sustainable development problems. Digital Twins for smart cities integrate real-time data from several sources, create virtual representations of the urban environment, and use sophisticated analytics and simulation approaches. This chapter examines smart city Digital Twin planning and construction, including the technology, advantages, and obstacles. The chapter discusses how data collecting infrastructure, IoT devices, and sensor networks capture real-time data from urban systems including transportation, electricity, waste management, and public services. It covers data integration to create a dynamic city Digital Twin. Advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning algorithms are crucial to leveraging the Digital Twin's massive data. Data-driven decision-making, predictive modeling, and scenario simulations increase municipal operations, resource efficiency, and resilience. Data security, privacy, interoperability, and scalability are also examined. The abstract emphasizes the need for comprehensive governance and regulatory frameworks to promote data responsibility and stakeholder participation in developing and sustaining the Digital Twin. The chapter also discusses smart city applications of Digital Twins, from urban planning and infrastructure optimization to catastrophe preparation and citizen involvement. Digital Twins have been used in smart cities worldwide. Digital Twins are a breakthrough technology that can unleash the full potential of urban data and create a more intelligent and connected urban environment. This chapter will help city planners, politicians, and academics develop Digital Twins to influence smart cities' future. © 2025 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
