On 12 June 2026, all interested participants are welcome to attend a public presentation introducing a Tallinn University research project focused on the future of user-centered digital twin platforms in urban planning and city governance.
Managing a modern city means navigating dozens of data systems, including permits, infrastructure, transport, and planning. Most of these systems are managed by different departments within the same organization. The structural fragmentation of such large organizations results in delayed decision-making, duplicated work, and a growing burden on the civil servant workforce.
The presentation showcases the findings of the research project exploring how a 3D Digital Twin of Tallinn City can be redesigned around the daily needs of urban officials, not the other way around.
Through participatory design sessions with Tallinn City civil servants, a competitive audit of Baltic capital digital twin platforms, and iterative prototype testing, the project developed a natural language–based interface that lets city officials query, plan, and monitor urban data without specialist training.
The long-term goal of the project is to create a commercially viable, role-based intelligent digital twin planning toolkit that transforms distributed city data into coordinated, actionable knowledge, designed to scale across cities, regions, and countries.
