Cities offer an array of opportunities for a sustainable future
The Dean of ENAC, Prof. Claudia Binder, named-checked UrbanTwin in an in-depth interivew about World Cities Day: “Digital technology is opening the door to new research avenues. For example, it lets us simulate potential pathways and tipping dynamics towards more sustainable states. These results could support policymakers in their decision-making and enable them to explore unknown avenues. This can be really powerful, and it’s underexploited so far, especially at the scale of a city due […]

Crossing the threshold – first results published
A threshold has been crossed: the first results from UrbanTwin have already been published. Splitting probabilities and mean first-passage times across multiple thresholds of jump-and-drift transition pathsGiulio Calvani and Paolo PeronaPhysical Review E 108, 044105 – 3 October 2023 The authors have derived a relationship for the mean first-passage time of transition paths crossing two consecutive thresholds for particles starting outside them. The results are relevant to several physical and engineering applications including the case […]

First Newsletter is published
Our first newsletter is online, featuring an interview with two leading players from UrbanTwin The UrbanTwin project brings together the energy, environmental and IT communities, as required for the achievement of its goals. Indeed, a multi-disciplinary approach is required in order to address the complexity of the multi-infrastructure modelling as well as the development of an energy efficient and highly performant IT-based digital twin too. These communities are equally represented in the project in terms […]
