How virtual models can provide real urban solutions

By Dassault Systèmes

Whitepaper shows how virtual models can help planners design cities for efficiency and sustainability.

By 2050, 70% of the world’s population, or approximately 6.4 billion people, will live in urban cities, the World Health Organisation reports. As the population in a city continues to skyrocket, managing the city’s ever-growing land, energy and water needs can potentially become a logistical nightmare.

How can urban cities respond to the challenges of an expanding urban population sustainably and efficiently?

A whitepaper by Dassault Systèmes illustrates how virtual 3D models can help design cities to be more sustainable and efficient. They help scientists and city planners to:

Analyse patterns of interactions with public facilities like transport and waste management
Digitally test the socio-economic effects of potential building projects through simulations of human movement and interactions
Create sustainable ways of urban planning to reduce issues like traffic jams and air pollution
