Cities throughout the world face long term strategic challenges in delivering large scale physical infrastructure development whilst addressing social and economic changes and challenges. In delivering such major programmes efficiently and effectively it is essential that investment decisions are thoroughly assessed and their impacts properly understood. These decisions need to be taken not only in the context of the specific development area but also that of the wider city, and over the long term. Decision makers need to take account of high-level factors such as changing demographics, political, economic and sustainability drivers, advances in technology etc. They need to understand and react to impacts on existing infrastructure and services, the environment and economy as well as social impacts such as health and wellbeing of residents, workers and visitors. Currently these ‘city systems’ are often siloed and, as a consequence, investment decisions can fail to recognise that the city is more than the sum of its parts, potentially leading to errors in infrastructure development that can take decades to correct. The Metrocare solution addresses these challenges. It comprises of an ICT-based, interactive urban development scenario creation and visualisation capability which interoperates with leading urban system models and supporting datasets that are specific to the location and context of the deployment. Metrocare will enable city decision makers and stakeholders to define and assess optional investment scenarios as part of the planning/approvals process for infrastructure development projects. Initial scenarios can be created, providing input parameters and output requirements for interoperating models that, in turn, create richer scenarios allowing decision makers to better understand the impact of strategic planning decisions on the overall ‘performance’ of city districts in the long term. Metrocare is ready to deploy as part of an iterative infrastructure investment scenario creation and assessment process. Work carried out to date indicates that there is a global demand for such a solution; it is widely applicable to all cities and regions as they adapt to the emerging needs of the economy, the environment and changes in society. However, work is needed to develop business models (cost, market growth, alignment with city systems and data, codification, skills/training etc) for the development of a commercial version that can readily be adapted and deployed widely in many urban environments and by organisations in different parts of the value chain. The project will be led by UK SME Unit9 who will provide the interactive scenario creation capability (building on the Innovate UK-funded ‘BIMCity’ project). Cambridge University, Skanska and BRE will provide city system models (e.g. land use, transport, energy, building stock, water, environment and economy as well as health, education, crime and community wellbeing). Use cases will be provided by city stakeholders (e.g. Haringey Council, the GLA and Cambridge County Council, providing a strong contextual focus based around planned developments). Other stakeholders, such as infrastructure/utilities owners and managers, may be invited to participate if the application for funding is successful.

世界各地的城市都面临着长期的战略挑战，既要实现大规模的基础设施建设，又要应对社会和经济的变化和挑战。为了有效率和有效地执行这些重大方案，必须彻底评估投资决定并适当了解其影响。这些决定不仅需要在特定开发区域的背景下进行，而且需要在更广泛的城市范围内进行，并且是长期的。决策者需要考虑高层因素，如不断变化的人口结构、政治、经济和可持续性驱动因素、技术进步等。他们需要了解并应对对现有基础设施和服务、环境和经济以及居民、工人和游客的健康和福祉等社会影响的影响。目前，这些“城市系统”往往是孤立的，因此，投资决策可能无法认识到城市不仅仅是各部分的总和，这可能导致基础设施发展中的错误，可能需要数十年才能纠正。Metrocare解决方案解决了这些挑战。它包括基于信息通信技术的交互式城市发展场景创建和可视化功能，可与领先的城市系统模型和特定于部署地点和背景的支持数据集进行互操作。Metrocare将使城市决策者和利益相关者能够定义和评估可选的投资方案，作为基础设施开发项目规划/审批流程的一部分。可以创建初始场景，为互操作模型提供输入参数和输出要求，从而创建更丰富的场景，使决策者能够更好地理解战略规划决策对城市地区整体“绩效”的长期影响。Metrocare已准备好作为迭代基础设施投资场景创建和评估过程的一部分进行部署。迄今进行的工作表明，全球需要这种解决办法；它广泛适用于所有城市和地区，因为它们适应了经济、环境和社会变化的新需求。然而，需要开发商业模式（成本、市场增长、与城市系统和数据的一致性、编码、技能/培训等），以开发商业版本，以便在许多城市环境中以及在价值链的不同部分的组织中易于适应和广泛部署。该项目将由英国中小企业部门（UK SME unit）领导，该部门将提供交互式场景创建能力（基于英国创新资助的“BIMCity”项目）。剑桥大学、斯堪斯卡和BRE将提供城市系统模型（例如土地使用、交通、能源、建筑存量、水、环境和经济以及健康、教育、犯罪和社区福利）。用例将由城市利益相关者提供（例如，Haringey议会、GLA和剑桥郡议会，提供基于计划开发的强大上下文重点）。如拨款申请成功，其他持份者，如基础设施/公用事业拥有人及管理人员，可获邀参与。
