Challenge / Goal

The swiss municipality Anières based in Geneva wanted to showcase how a future urban project will integrate into its neighborhood.
At the time, the municipality only had technical drawings and a few static 3D images and faced difficulty in effectively communicating and visualizing the proposed urban development to the public and stakeholders. 

This situation is common and can lead to a lack of understanding and buy-in for the project, as well as difficulty in identifying and addressing potential issues or concerns. 
Additionally, the municipality may also have difficulty in accurately assessing the impact of the development on the surrounding area, and in making informed decisions about the design and layout of the project.
 

Solution

Having a 3D photorealistic digital twin provided Anières with a powerful tool for effectively communicating and visualizing this project as well as other proposed urban development plans to the public and stakeholders. With a digital twin, the municipality can now create highly detailed, accurate, and realistic renderings of the proposed development that can be easily explored and understood by anyone. This can help to build support for the project and address concerns or issues early on in the planning process.

Additionally, a digital twin can be used to simulate the impact of the development on the surrounding area, such as traffic flow, pedestrian movement, and environmental factors. This can help the municipality to make informed decisions about the design and layout of the project, and to identify and address potential issues before construction begins.

Overall, a 3D photorealistic digital twin can serve as a powerful communication and decision-making tool for municipalities, helping to ensure that urban development projects are designed and executed in a way that benefits the community and the environment.

Citizen participation

A 3D photorealistic digital twin can have a significant impact on citizen participation in the urban development process. By providing a highly detailed and realistic representation of the proposed development, a digital twin can make it much easier for citizens to understand and visualize the project, and to provide feedback and input.

For example, citizens can use the digital twin to explore the development from different perspectives and get a sense of how it will look and feel when completed. They can also use the digital twin to identify potential issues or concerns, such as traffic flow, pedestrian safety, or the impact on local businesses, and provide feedback to the municipality.

Additionally, a digital twin can be used to facilitate virtual public meetings, where citizens can interact with the project in real-time, ask questions, and provide feedback. This can help to ensure that citizen participation is meaningful, and that their voices are heard throughout the development process.

Overall, a 3D photorealistic digital twin can serve as a powerful tool for engaging citizens in the urban development process, making it more accessible and inclusive, and helping to ensure that the final development reflects the needs and desires of the community.
