  • Do urban digital twins need agents

    Open Access•Letícia Marçal Russo, Gamze Dane et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning B Urban…•2026

    The urban digital twin (UDT) is derived from the original digital-twin concept of a representation of physical assets. This has left the social component of the city underrepresented in UDTs. Here, we discuss what this means for the current maturity stage of UDTs and why better representing human behaviour in UDTs may diversify possibilities to support different types of planning. We contemplate operationalizing the representation of human behavi…
