Abstract

Integrating urban planning programs with cutting-edge technologies, including development modelling, simulation, and artificial intelligence, is crucial for shaping sustainable frameworks, future scenarios, and long-term urban policies. One of the key advancements in this field is the creation of Digital Twins (DT) for complex real-world systems, such as cities and their diverse subsystems, ranging from transportation and energy distribution to water consumption, population dynamics, education, healthcare, and cultural heritage. DT technology is emerging as a transformative approach to smart urban development, enabling cities to become more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. This paper presents a new strategy for integrating DT technology into urban planning processes, emphasizing data-driven decision-making, real-time monitoring, and proactive management of urban systems. By leveraging DT, cities can simulate complex scenarios, optimize resource allocation, and enhance urban management. The proposed strategy outlines key components, including data integration, system interoperability, and stakeholder engagement, fostering a comprehensive framework for smart urban development. The findings highlight the potential of DT to revolutionize urban planning, offering insights into practical implementation and long-term benefits for modern cities.

Dijital İkiz (DT) Teknolojisiyle Akıllı Kentsel Gelişim İçin Yeni Bir Strateji

Abstract

Kentsel planlama programlarını, kalkınma modellemesi, simülasyon ve yapay zeka gibi son teknolojilerle bütünleştirmek, sürdürülebilir çerçeveler, gelecek senaryoları ve uzun vadeli kentsel politikaları şekillendirmek için hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu alandaki temel ilerlemelerden biri, ulaşım ve enerji dağıtımından su tüketimine, nüfus dinamiklerine, eğitime, sağlık hizmetlerine ve kültürel mirasa kadar uzanan şehirler ve çeşitli alt sistemleri gibi karmaşık gerçek dünya sistemleri için Dijital İkizler (DT) oluşturulmasıdır. DT teknolojisi, şehirlerin daha verimli, dayanıklı ve sürdürülebilir olmasını sağlayarak akıllı kentsel gelişime dönüştürücü bir yaklaşım olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu makale, veri odaklı karar alma, gerçek zamanlı izleme ve kentsel sistemlerin proaktif yönetimini vurgulayarak, DT teknolojisini kentsel planlama süreçlerine entegre etmek için yeni bir strateji sunmaktadır. DT'den yararlanarak şehirler karmaşık senaryoları simüle edebilir, kaynak tahsisini optimize edebilir ve kentsel yönetimi geliştirebilir. Önerilen strateji, akıllı kentsel gelişim için kapsamlı bir çerçeveyi teşvik eden veri entegrasyonu, sistem birlikte çalışabilirliği ve paydaş katılımı gibi temel bileşenleri ana hatlarıyla açıklamaktadır. Bulgular, DT'nin kentsel planlamada devrim yaratma potansiyelini vurgulayarak, modern şehirler için pratik uygulama ve uzun vadeli faydalar konusunda fikir veriyor.
