The Smart Cities Network (SCN) is a global platform that fosters collaboration among stakeholders in the smart city ecosystem. It facilitates knowledge sharing, business intelligence, and the creation of business opportunities to promote sustainable urban development aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SCN's mission is to connect various partners within the smart cities landscape, including thought leaders, innovators, consultants, analysts, and both public and private organizations. By doing so, it aims to build inclusive, sustainable, and smart cities that are secure, environmentally conscious, and enhance the quality of life for their inhabitants. The organization operates through a structured framework encompassing policy, programs, and projects, focusing on areas such as smart living, smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart government, and smart digital infrastructure. SCN also emphasizes capacity building and offers various programs and interest groups in domains such as city planning, cybersecurity, healthcare, and sustainability. These initiatives aim to support the development and operationalization of smart city solutions across ASEAN and beyond

Digital Twins in Smart Cities

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object, system, or process used to simulate, analyze, and optimize performance. By collecting real-time data from sensors and other sources, digital twins allow for accurate monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization. This technology is widely applied in manufacturing, healthcare, urban planning, and logistics industries, enabling improved decision-making and efficiency through detailed simulations of real-world systems.
