Future Cities : Machines for Living
3D digital simulation having access to appropriate layers of information , reach and communicate them universally .
Using a single platform for security planning , as well as management and public and stakeholder access , puts everything in synch . Many cities use 3D digital simulations to run and optimise security scenarios . Events ranging from a city centre dirty bomb to live maps of potentially vulnerable areas can incorporate existing data in any format .
History – Future lessons Progressive cities are able to commit their work , including 3D digital models of buildings and services , to a unified platform and to build up an increasingly detailed security and services model of the city when new projects are added .
As more users contribute information a ‘ time machine ’ historic model will emerge . Historic situations become viewable while the progress of current work can be accurately
