Downtown Phoenix Inc. announced the official debut of Downtown Phoenix’s first digital twin. The community-building organization and enhanced municipal services provider has partnered with CyberCity 3D and ORBIS Dynamics to produce a replica of Downtown that will use legions of aggregated data to highlight real-time traffic patterns, zoning ordinances, air quality, prime urban heat locations, and other development-related insights.
Digital twin production and its usage has been on the rise nationally over the past few years, and it has been a goal of Downtown Phoenix Inc. and its partners at the city to develop a model that accurately represents the current state of Downtown and the potential for its growth. “Downtown Phoenix is growing and evolving rapidly and is the center of our city and the heart of our state,” said Devney Majerle, President + CEO of Downtown Phoenix Inc. “This tool has the potential to inform development, policy, and investment decisions that will benefit DTPHX in a way that few cities are able to currently.”
