While the combination of GIS and Digital Twin technologies offers benefits, city planners and administrators should keep several key considerations in mind:

Data requirements

Simulation and AI technologies require access to large volumes of data. Solutions need to be designed with data storage, privacy, and security in mind.

Compute requirements

GIS and Digital Twin workloads might significantly differ in computation requirements. Compute and graphic acceleration might be required for particular use cases

Workflow integration

The integration of GIS and Digital Twin workflows is a critical requirement to enable the seamless exchange of data pipelines.
