Urban Twins Conference 2022

Our goal is to promote transformative powers: Together with our local and international network of researchers and practitioners, we develop digital tools that we apply and explore in virtual and urban spaces. New collaborative platforms are emerging to realign urban development based on data and interactive 3D city models. These digital urban twins provide real-time data and calculations and offer new opportunities for citizen participation.

Hosted at HafenCity University, the Urban Twins Conference 2022 brings together city representatives, researchers, companies and policy-makers to discuss the changing state of digital cities and communities and their new type of interactions enabled by this evolving platform.

On three thematic stages we are curating a program with keynotes, panel discussions, workshops and a showroom with contributions ranging from research to innovative business solutions.
