DUBLIN — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 28, 2020 — The "Digital Twin Cities 2020" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Digital Twin is a concept that first appeared in the early 2000s, and has been applied to a number of industrial sectors (space, aeronautics, automotive, construction).

The concept applied to the city, Digital Twin City, is far more recent. While it has been making headlines, e.g. with its application in Singapore, it is clearly still getting its bearings and working to carve out a market.

This report takes a two-pronged approach to analyze the Digital Twin City: the solution providers' perspective, by looking and the main suppliers and how they are positioned in this nascent market, and a city-centric perspective, qualifying the directions cities have chosen when designing their Digital Twin.

• Who are the companies supplying solutions?

• What main sectors of application are cities showcasing?

Cities studied:

• Europe: Cambridge, Helsinki, Rennes, Rotterdam
• North America: Boston, Pasadena, Portland
• Middle-East and Asia: Dubai, Jaipur, Singapore, Yingtan
