Urban scale digital twins in data-driven society: Challenging digital universalism in urban planning decision-making |
source |
International Journal of Architectural Computing 2022, Vol. 20 - no. 2, pp. 238–253 |
summary |
The article examines the impact of the virtual public sphere on how urban spaces are experienced andconceived in our data-driven society. It places particular emphasis on urban scale digital twins, which arevirtual replicas of cities that are used to simulate environments and develop scenarios in response to policyproblems. The article also investigates the shift from the technical to the socio-technical perspective withinthe field of smart cities. Despite the aspirations of urban scale digital twins to enhance the participation ofcitizens in the decision-making processes relayed to urban planning strategies, the fact that they are based on alimited set of variables and processes makes them problematic. The article aims to shed light on the tensionbetween the real and the ideal at stake during this process of abstracting sets of variables and processes in thecase of urban scale digital twins |
