Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
The technology of digital twins has wide applications, many of a humble nature. The digital twin of a modest housing estate that has originated in an architect’s office can be used in the process of a public consultation. It can demonstrate what is intended far more effectively than conventional architect’s plans and static artist drawings, and the planning process can be democratised by giving widespread access to the digital twin in the process of soliciting comments and suggestions from the affected parties and from the wider public.
