TECNALIA shows the city’s digital twin at the conference on Universal Accessibility: Basque Country, a shared commitment
TECNALIA has developed digital tools to facilitate data-driven decision-making to improve cities through urban planning. The Universal Accessibility conference, organised by the Accessibility Promotion Council of the Basque Country (ISEK), the Basque Accessibility Observatory and the Basque Government’s Department of Housing and Urban Agenda, addresses the challenges, opportunities and innovative solutions in the field of accessibility and promotes inclusion and equal opportunities for all.
- It will be a day to foster collaboration between professionals in the sector, organisations and the general public.
- Technology provides an opportunity to facilitate decision-making on co-designing and developing more people-friendly cities.
Digital twin of the city
Within the framework of the European UrbanAge project, TECNALIA has developed a digital twin of the city to make urban planning in cities age-friendly.
- The conference will show this digital twin, which brings together various data such as buildings, health centres, green areas, street furniture and mechanical ramps, in such a way as to provide integrated information on the city which is easy to view.
- The tool also simulates the impact that future urban planning interventions may have on the friendliness of the city. Consequently, technologies such as AI algorithms and big data will allow urban planners to anticipate the effects of measures to be implemented.
