Role of urban digital twins in understanding risks to large scale cyber-physical infrastructure and their stakeholders

城市数字双胞胎提供了一种新的建模形式，促进了对智能城市基础设施和安全的风险评估和规划的更深入研究，同时也提供了一个平台，研究不同利益相关者对这些新技术所伴随的信任、身份和隐私问题的看法。使用可视化，这个数字双胞胎研究项目将提高公民的理解，并促进与城市规划者的参与，导致采用自下而上的方法来实施智能城市。

Urban digital twins offer a new form of modelling that facilitates deeper research into risk assessment and planning of smart-city infrastructure and security - while also providing a platform to study different stakeholder perspectives into questions of trust, identity and privacy that accompany these new technologies.Using visualisation, this digital twin research project will improve citizen understanding, and facilitate engagement with city-planners, leading to the inclusion of a bottom-up approach to the implementation of smart-cities.
