- The platform was presented at a workshop organised by Dubai Municipality, which was also attended by Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
- During the project’s third phase, more than 195,000 buildings across Dubai were converted into three-dimensional digital models.
- Sheikh Hamdan reviewed the next project phase, covering applications for urban planning, infrastructure and asset management, rainfall simulation, building evacuation scenarios and data-driven decision-making tools.
- Dubai Municipality signed two strategic agreements, one each with Al-Futtaim Group and Huawei, to support the next phase through enhanced data exchange and broader applications.
The Digital Twin project reflects Mohammed bin Rashid’s vision of utilising advanced technology and data to build a city that is more prepared for the future, enhance planning and decision-making efficiency, and improve quality of life. It represents a new strategic milestone in Dubai’s journey to consolidate its position as the best city to live, work and invest in, and a global model for innovation and digital transformation.— His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum; remarks at the launch of Dubai's Integrated Digital Twin Platform during the Partners in Building the Digital Twin workshop.
