DynaCITY Use Cases & Pilot Sites
DynaCITY is demonstrated through five use cases across five pilot sites, each bringing a distinct climate, mobility or resilience challenge. Every city profile below follows the same structure: local challenge and goal, planning scenario, modules used, stakeholder engagement, accessibility considerations, KPIs and expected results.
Pilot Map
Lund / Veberöd, Sweden — Engaging Smart Village to Urban Twin Ecosystem
NetZero Mission City
Local Challenge & Goal
Lund and the nearby village of Veberöd need a village-to-city digital-twin chain that lets a smart-village pilot scale up into a city-wide twin ecosystem, while keeping citizens engaged throughout.
Planning Scenario
Smart-village incubation in Veberöd, followed by city-scale deployment in Lund, with citizen engagement delivered via web and mobile tools and dashboards.
Stakeholder Engagement
Citizen engagement via web and mobile tools and dashboards, supporting input on traffic rerouting and energy-sharing scenarios.
Accessibility Considerations
Privacy-by-design and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility are built into the citizen-facing tools from the start.
DynaCITY Modules Used
XModel, XDesign, XEngage
Expected results
✓ Traffic rerouting scenarios validated with residents.
✓ Energy-sharing models tested between Veberöd and Lund.
✓ Flood and urban-heat adaptation measures identified.
✓ A replicable smart-village-to-city digital-twin chain.
Heidelberg, Germany — AI-Enhanced Planning for Climate-Neutral Mobility
NetZero Mission City
EU Mission City — climate neutral by 2030
Local Challenge & Goal
As an EU Mission City targeting climate neutrality by 2030, Heidelberg needs AI-enhanced planning tools to reduce mobility-related emissions and plan for multimodal, low-carbon transport.
Planning Scenario
Multimodal mobility hubs, parking-search-traffic reduction, and exploration of autonomous-vehicle implications using GIS and 3D city models.
Stakeholder Engagement
Scenario communication tools follow WCAG 2.1 AA, with non-XR alternatives for citizens who cannot use immersive devices.
Accessibility Considerations
Privacy-by-design and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility are built into the citizen-facing tools from the start.
DynaCITY Modules Used
XModel, XDesign
Expected results
✓ Reduced traffic from parking search through better routing.
✓ Evidence base for multimodal mobility-hub locations.
✓ Insights into autonomous-vehicle integration.
✓ Measurable progress towards climate-neutral mobility by 2030.
Funchal, Portugal — Digital Twin for Public Infrastructure, Environment and Zoning
Tourism-driven, Topographically Complex City
Local Challenge & Goal
Funchal’s tourism-driven economy and complex topography create pressure on public infrastructure, the environment and zoning decisions that need better monitoring and forecasting tools.
Planning Scenario
Public-infrastructure monitoring, environmental-stress tracking, waste management and population-density forecasting, built on Logimade’s platforms, municipal data and ARDITI’s FIWARE expertise.
Stakeholder Engagement
XR and citizen dashboards communicate infrastructure and environmental conditions to residents and visitors
Accessibility Considerations
Dashboards are designed to WCAG 2.1 AA so residents and visitors of varying abilities can understand local environmental and infrastructure information.
DynaCITY Modules Used
XModel, XDesign
Expected results
✓ Improved monitoring of public infrastructure condition.
✓ Better forecasting of population-density peaks from tourism.
✓ More resilient waste-management planning.
✓ Environmental-stress data integrated into zoning decisions.
Menton / French Riviera (CARF), France — AI-Powered Digital Twin for Integrated Urban Planning and Risk Management
Multi-municipality coastal-and-mountain territory
Local Challenge & Goal
The CARF (Menton / French Riviera) territory spans coastal and mountain municipalities facing climate adaptation, flood risk, water scarcity and the need to renovate public buildings for energy efficiency.
Planning Scenario
Integrated territorial planning for climate adaptation, flood risk and water scarcity, drawing on satellite, LiDAR and IoT data over an NGSI-LD infrastructure, including public-building energy monitoring and renovation support.
Stakeholder Engagement
Participatory territorial planning processes involve multiple municipalities and their residents in shared scenario evaluation.
Accessibility Considerations
Multi-municipality engagement materials are produced in accessible formats and multiple languages where relevant.
DynaCITY Modules Used
XModel, XDesign, XEngage
Expected results
✓ Flood-risk and water-scarcity scenarios for the CARF territory.
✓ Prioritised public-building renovation pathways.
✓ Shared territorial planning data across municipalities.
✓ Stronger climate-adaptation evidence base.
Beirut, Lebanon — A Green Corridor for Post-Disaster Recovery and Urban Resilience
Heritage-sensitive post-disaster recovery
Local Challenge & Goal
A former highway corridor in Beirut requires heritage-sensitive digital-twin modelling to support post-disaster recovery and long-term urban resilience.
Planning Scenario
Drone, LiDAR and 3D-GIS capture combined with IoT data to model soft-mobility, green-infrastructure, energy and climate-resilience scenarios for the corridor.
Stakeholder Engagement
Participatory co-design with residents and local actors shapes the green-corridor scenarios from the earliest stages.
Accessibility Considerations
Co-design activities are planned to be accessible to residents with diverse abilities, languages and levels of digital access.
DynaCITY Modules Used
XModel, XDesign, XEngage
Expected results
✓ A green-corridor masterplan informed by community input.
✓ Improved soft-mobility connections across the corridor.
✓ Climate-resilience scenarios for energy and green infrastructure.
✓ A model for heritage-sensitive post-disaster digital-twin planning.
