The framework offers a structured approach that encompasses both theoretical underpinnings and practical applications. It aims to provide a foundation to support enhanced decision-making, optimised resource utilisation, and improved urban resilience and sustainability. The book aims to address a lack of consistency, coherence and uniformity within current approaches, and offers a unified framework to facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange across diverse areas, such as urban management, systems thinking, data science and social science. Key features include a systematic framework (DATUM) to unify the field of digital twins for urban management coverage of theoretical foundations and a step-by-step methodology to guide digital twin-based interventions a standardised language to facilitate classification, documentation and communication of digital twin use cases validation of the DATUM framework through a combination of focus group research, case studies and action research, ensuring applicability and effectiveness. Unifying the Field of Digital Twins for Urban Management is designed for a wide audience, including digital twin practitioners, researchers, urban managers and policy makers interested in harnessing the potential of digital twins to improve urban environments. 606 $aDigital twins (Computer simulation) 606 $aCity planning 606 $aTechnology & Engineering$xCivil$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aStructural engineering$2thema 606 $aCivil engineering, surveying and building$2thema 615 0$aDigital twins (Computer simulation) 615 0$aCity planning. 615 7$aTechnology & Engineering$xCivil$xGeneral. 615 7$aStructural engineering. 615 7$aCivil engineering, surveying and building. 676 $a307.76 700 $aElsehrawy$b Ramy$01884845 702 $aBimal Kumar 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911048824803321 996 $aUnifying the field of digital twins for urban management$94519548 997 $aUNINA
