How Cities Achieve Sustainable Development Goals through Digital Transformation, Optimizing Urban Planning and Operation, Mobility, and Utilities
What:
Bentley Systems experts will present at Smart City Expo World Congress, the international leading event for cities. SCEWC is dedicated to empowering cities through collectivizing urban innovation, promoting social innovation, and identifying collaborative opportunities for a better future for cities and their citizens.
Around 70% of the world’s harmful emissions can be traced to infrastructure—through the carbon-heavy design, construction, and operational life of assets. Cities cover 2% of the world but consume 78% of the world’s energy and produce 60% of greenhouse gases. With over 10,000 cities in the world making commitments to reduce carbon emissions by 2050, this is no longer a future problem: it is a present project.
Bentley Systems will showcase the benefits of going digital during the Empowering Sustainability in Cities with Digital Twins sessions, including the use of digital twins, to reshape the way that cities are designed and operated. Using examples from innovative and award-winning infrastructure projects around the world, they will demonstrate how digital twins can help to connect data, systems, processes, and people to deliver the visibility needed to operate sustainable cities.
Who:
