Centre for Digitally Built Britain and Digital Twin Hub

I recently came across the Centre for Digital Built Britain, a major programme to advance the development of a digital Great Britain.

The Centre for Digital Built Britain is a partnership between the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the University of Cambridge to understand how the construction and infrastructure sectors could use a digital approach to better design, build, operate, and integrate the built environment.

Mission:
The mission of CDBB is to develop and demonstrate policy and practical insights that will enable the exploitation of new and emerging technologies, data and analytics to enhance the natural and built environment, thereby driving up commercial competitiveness and productivity, as well as citizen quality of life and well-being.

Within this programme is a further project called the National Digital Twin Programme.

The CDBB has established the Digital Twin Hub (DT Hub), a collaborative web-enabled community for those who own, or who are developing, digital twins within the built environment.

The DT Hub provides some interesting resources and a programme of work worth following. I am going to be covering Digital Twins and their role to support cyber security for Smart Cities in the Digital Twin Section.
