What if Brussels Had a Digital Twin? (ENG/NL/FR)

The city in the age of artificial intelligence

Join us at FARI on 20 March for an immersive experience of urban digital twins, true digital replicas of our cities. Increasingly used in major cities, these tools are still largely unknown to public authorities and the general public. In the CAVE (Computer Augmented Virtual Reality), you will be immersed in 3D cartographic representations of Brussels. This will be a unique opportunity to question the use of these technologies by decision-makers and to reflect on their impact on the management of urban areas and the lives of local residents. The use of these digital tools, particularly as regards their visualisation and representation, raises fundamental questions: who makes the decisions and what criteria guide these choices?

REGISTRATIONS

Jacques Lévy (CHOROS), geographer and urban planner, will introduce this reflection on how these technologies can redefine the way we visualise, represent and govern our urban spaces.
Roland Billen (ULiège), a geomatician, will also examine the use of these tools at the local level. He will highlight the technical challenges and specific issues that arise when adapting these large-scale technologies to urban contexts.
