A consortium led by Arup and the Alan Turing Institute has released an open source urban digital twin framework underpinned by PostgreSQL and PostGIS, designed to model energy use, mobility, and flood resilience at city scale. The platform, called OpenUrbanTwin, is being piloted in Greater Manchester and the London Borough of Southwark. Code has been released under an Apache 2.0 licence on GitHub, with documentation targeting planning and infrastructure teams.
