PUTTING PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
AND CLIMATE AT THE HEART OF CITY EXPANSION
Infrastructure connects us to each other and to the natural environment. Integrated, robust and resilient infrastructure provides the foundation of economically strong places and for the services that we depend on.
Hosted at Connected Places Catapult
Digital Twin Hub
Digital twins and interoperable, connected digital twins are significant tools for fighting the global, systemic challenges currently facing the world. Challenges like pandemics, climate change and resilience. They are key enablers for ensuring better outcomes for people and nature through a collaborative and coordinated approach to problem-solving.
Initiatives for 2024
CReDo
The Climate Resilience Demonstrator (CReDo) is a pioneering climate change adaptation digital twin that provides a practical example of how connected data can improve climate adaptation and resilience across a system of systems.
The Art of Digital Infrastructure
Maths whizz Chris Arthurs created computer simulations showing how human hearts respond to drug treatments, before applying his knowledge of algorithms to build a city navigation smartphone app. Now he is working with Connected Places Catapult to develop a digital twin to help shape highways of the future.
