EP02: Sean Audain, Digital Twins in City Planning


Listen Later

For the 2nd instalment of the Future Proof Podcast, we're joined by Sean Audain, Strategic Planning Manager at Wellington City Council, exploring his field within strategic city planning and digital twin technologies.

A digital twin for city wide planning is a virtual simulation of our

real-world cities and urban environments. It integrates data from various sources, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, sensors, geographical information systems (GIS), historical data, and real-time information to replicate a detailed model of a city. Digital twins play a pivotal role in aiding city planners and policy makers with enhanced decision-making abilities.

In this episode, Sean shares:

  • His personal journey navigating the intersection of planning and digital twins
  • Examples and use cases of digital twins employed
  • in New Zealand.    
  • Insights into the technological practicalities and future
  • potential
  • Guidance on where to start for anyone intrigued
  • by digital twins.

    We apologize in advance for a brief interruption during the

    middle of this episode due to a minor connection issue. However, we've chosen to preserve the raw, unfiltered version —warts and all!
