A digital twin of a city would be too expensive to store and use, and it would also be immediately out-of-date.
Creating a digital marketplace for construction procurement would have benefits that far outweigh the challenges.Even the steps on the journey, as focus on interoperability, data standards and consistent specifications, would help accelerate the digital shift that is already underway.
There is plenty to think about, but I hope we can continue the debate and, together, create the common vision that will add a whole new dimension to our journey of transformation..

But also a place of catering, deliveries, laundry and car parking..It must be as efficient as possible, and house some of the most advanced technology in the world, and yet feel human and welcoming.
And whatever else it is today, we know that it may need to be something very different – although we don’t know what – in just a few months’ time..
The opportunity within healthcare design and build is to address all of these competing value drivers successfully.Enabling planning as a data-led process will unlock the value of related modern methods of construction, enabling connections with related applications such as the PRiSM app for housing.. Making processes more efficient and transparent will force the hand of the regulatory environment – as we have seen in other sectors, better technology drives the modernisation of regulations.. And, of course, the lessons learned from this project can be applied beyond planning.
This sort of project helps create the environment for people – public and professionals – to engage with digital in the public realm.This will be an exemplar of how applying technology creates a proliferation of benefits.. How to create a digital environment for planning.
In order to enable a digitised planning process, the core requirement is to:.Standardise and digitise (as far as possible and/or desirable) the rules under which designs are - by different parties - created, submitted, assessed, consulted on, amended, approved and ultimately built.. Agree the interoperable standard datasets that will enable this, and how to generate and use them.. As already said, the aim of this project is not to create a single solution for this process; we do not believe a single solution is in anyone’s best interests.
