Digital Twin for Real -Time sensitive urban design decision making

At CSDILA, we harness the power of land administration, geospatial information, and land intelligence to create solutions for a more sustainable, resilient, and connected world. Our research pushes boundaries—transforming the way we govern land, plan cities, manage risk, and shape the built and natural environments. Each of our Research Impact Areas demonstrates how innovative spatial thinking can deliver tangible benefits for communities, industry, and governments worldwide.​

Summary

A Decision Support Tool was developed in CSDILA Digital Twin to understand the stormwater capacity of proposing new road networks in each catchment area.

About the Project

This interdisciplinary project brings together landscape architectures, geospatial scientists, and city modellers to design and implement an ecological adaptation scenario builder in a Digital Twin (DT) environment. The scenario builder is capable of measuring inundation and modelling climate change impacts, as an urban planning and design tool. This will enable the visualisation and testing of incremental flood defence and adaptation. planning scenarios to be explored by decision-makers and other stakeholders to directly inform the planning process. The idea will be tested at Fishermans Bend, Australia’s largest urban renewal project, near Melbourne’s CBD. The aim is to develop a holistic and near- to long-term resilient floodplain redevelopment analytic. Therefore, this project will answer the following question:

* What are effective near- mid- and long-term incremental design scenarios for the Fishermans Bend precinct development and landscape that can be planned and built to make the site resilient to climate change in 30,70 years and 100 years?

Capabilities

* A panel in CSDILA Digital Twin for water-sensitive urban design scenarios and decision making

* Utilising road network drawing and modification functions for stormwater management

* Developing an interface between stormwater management, buildings, and streets
