Virtual City-State Models

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Virtual Singapore' is the First 3DEXPERIENCE City by Dassault Systèmes

— February 21, 2017 — World
Singapore, the island city-state off the coast of mainland Malaysia, is one of the most connected in the world, which makes it the ideal candidate for Dassault Systèmes' new software, aptly entitled 'Virtual Singapore.' Part of the company's 3DEXPERIENCE City project, Virtual Singapore is an incredibly detailed 3D map of the city-state that includes deep data about everything from traffic flow and energy consumption to demographic data and public systems use.

Virtual Singapore, which will be released by the end of 2017, is much more than a detailed Google Maps. While the general public will have access to the tool, it will be especially useful for architects, urban planners, and city councilors for analyzing policy decisions (thanks to the wide-ranging and plentiful data that the software makes accessible.)
Trend Themes
1. Virtual City-state Models - Creating virtual models of cities to gather and analyze deep data about traffic flow, energy consumption, demographic data, and public systems use.
2. 3D Visualization and Simulation - Using 3D visualization and simulation technologies to create detailed virtual models of cities and analyze policy decisions.
3. Data-driven Urban Planning - Leveraging the large amounts of data available through virtual city-state models to make informed decisions about infrastructure planning and systems use.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Using virtual city-state models to improve urban planning and design decisions.
2. Urban Planning - Utilizing data from virtual city-state models to develop and refine policy decisions about infrastructure planning and systems use.
3. Data Science - Developing new techniques for gathering and analyzing the vast amounts of data available through virtual city-state models.
