About

Like many other cities in the Netherlands, Almere faces major housing and sustainability challenges. In the coming years, the city will need to build 100,000 new homes. This project aims to explore how digital twin technology can be integrated into this large-scale urban development as a powerful tool for stakeholder collaboration, supporting the transition towards inclusive, circular, and sustainable cities. The outcomes will be scalable to other European cities facing similar challenges.
