Düsseldorf's New Digital Twin: Experience the city in a new way!

A new milestone for city planning in Düsseldorf: The digital 3D city model “Düsseldorf in 3D” has further developed and was expanded Digital twin Düsseldorf expanded. This innovative platform is now accessible in the browser or on smartphones without additional software, at www.duesseldorf-in-3d.de.

With this expansion, the city administration is pursuing the goal of creating a central information platform for three-dimensional basic information as well as relevant specialist topics. Dr. Stephan Keller, Mayor of Düsseldorf, emphasizes how important the digital twin is for proximity to citizens and the city administration. The representative for planning, building, housing and real estate, Cornelia Zuschke, sees the platform as valuable support for planning and simulations.

Diverse usage options

The digital model offers a variety of visualizations, from solar potential to street noise to digital construction projects. Particularly noteworthy is the pilot version, which focuses on solar energy and provides information on planning solar systems. The Surveying and Land Registry Office cooperates with the Office for the Environment and Consumer Protection to provide citizens with useful data.

But that's not all: users have the opportunity to create, save and share their own content - be it for construction projects or events. In addition, high-quality 3D models are available for free download. Regular updates ensure that new building data and thematic content are continually added. A video on the topic will be published shortly, which will illustrate the possibilities of the digital twin in more detail.

Digital twins and their advantages

But what exactly is behind the concept of digital twins? According to the site smart-city-dialog.de Digital twins offer great potential in urban development and planning. They not only serve as a visual and material representation of cities, but also support simulations, forecasts and real-time monitoring. Exact data forms the basis for the diverse functions of digital twins.

Around 50% of cities worldwide are implementing digital twins, with a significant proportion being used in urban development and planning. Practical examples from cities such as Mönchengladbach and Kirchheim near Munich show how such solutions help to make land use planning and building permits more efficient. Projects such as “Connected Urban Twins” in several German cities illustrate the common approach to developing a basic infrastructure for digital twins.

Overall, the digital twin in Düsseldorf is a step into the future that can revolutionize city planning. With a strong database, innovative applications and a user-friendly platform, this model could serve as a model not only for the citizens of Düsseldorf, but also for other cities.
