Digital twin

Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ) is endeavoring to create digital twins of the country's 81 provinces to enhance urban planning efforts, particularly in addressing transportation issues, bolstering disaster readiness and combating environmental pollution.

Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay has announced that the officials are preparing "digital twins," a simulation project formed with images from drones to monitor all the 81 provinces.

Speaking at a council organized by the directorate general of geographic information systems, an affiliate of the Environment Ministry, Oktay introduced the project.
