Geodesign, Urban Digital Twins, and Futures

Geodesign, Urban Digital Twins and Futures explores systems, processes and novel technologies for planning, mapping, and designing our built environment. In a period of advancing urban infrastructure, technological autonomy in cities and high-performance geographic systems, new capabilities, novel techniques, and streamlined procedures have emerged concurrently with climatic challenges, pandemics and increasing global urbanization. Chapters cover a range of topics such as Urban Digital Twins, GeoBIM, Geodesign and collaborative tools, immersive environments, gamification, and future methods. This book features over 100 international projects and workflows, five detailed case studies, and a companion website. In addition, this book examines Geodesign as an agent for collaboration alongside futuring methods for imagining and understanding our future world.
