ISCN Global Mixer | HAL-Plan: Digital Twin Halle (Saale)

Digital twins are one of the most discussed topics in the smart city context. In urban planning, they refer to digital replicas of cities where simulations are generated using real-time data. Digital twins can simulate for example traffic flows, climatic conditions, and the impacts of different building types within a digital model of the city.

In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer, Katja Gehrmann and Albert Steinbach from the City of Halle (Saale) will showcase HAL-Plan, the digital twin of the City of Halle (Saale). A 3D model of the city serves as the foundation for developing all key components of the software, including a Land Management Tool (a cadastre with location data and visualization of commercial spaces and real estate offerings); a Planning Tool for creating planning scenarios; and an Ecology Tool for analyzing and evaluating environmental impacts on planning areas.

With the implementation of HAL-PLAN, the City aims to optimize administrative procedures and participatory processes, increase planning security, and facilite decision-making in increasingly complex urban development processes. 

This event is part of the ISCN Global Mixer, a series of events organized by the International Smart Cities Network. The presentations cover a wide range of topics related to international smart city approaches and provide exciting insights into urban digitalization worldwide - in just 30 minutes.
