Abstract

Abstract:

Digital twin cities represent a new concept and model for the development of smart cities, and have become one of the important paths to promote the comprehensive digital transformation of cities. Focusing on “what to build” and “how to build” in digital twin cities, this paper presents three core viewpoints. Firstly, a five-dimensional model for digital twin city construction is established. Secondly, the construction ideas of the five dimensions are clarified. Thirdly, the development suggestions of “classified policy implementation, characteristic leadership, and ecological collaboration” for digital twin cities are proposed, providing useful references for the managers, builders, and operators of digital twin cities, and helping to achieve high-quality construction and sustainable development of digital twin cities.

Key words: digital twin city, smart city, comprehensive digital transformation of cities
