Technology Serving the Needs of the City

As urbanization increases rapidly in every part of the world, it also brings with it many problems. The fact that city areas are limited and the population density here is higher than these areas reveals the necessity of proper planning. It's hard to say there's time for trial and error when it comes to urban planning. Considering that the decisions taken today have critical effects on the future, city stakeholders consisting of citizens, civil society, public and private sectors need to act strategically and correctly and take steps to create digital twins in order to plan cities correctly.

Today, regarding city management. Digital twin technology is behind the success of cities such as Shanghai, New York, Singapore and Helsinki, which have set the bar very high. Investments in digital twins globally have already started to yield positive results. A 2021 report from global technology firm ABI Research estimates that cities will “save $280 billion by 2030 by using digital twins for more efficient city planning. Studies also reveal that digital twin technology will aid sustainability efforts in urban living.

SAMPAŞ Holding, which has been using the power of informatics for 42 years to strengthen and disseminate the smart city approach, took the first step of the digital twin by flying in approximately 10 square kilometers of Osmaniye city center, together with Osmaniye Municipality. Energy, water, infrastructure, demography, Osmaniye Municipality, which aims to monitor transportation and other urban components live and increase the brand value of the city and increase the quality of life by improving living standards, provides smart street lighting systems, energy management systems, smart electricity meters, smart electricity grid, smart water meters and demand management, detection of leaks. It will also integrate issues that directly affect our daily lives, such as preventive maintenance, smart parking meters and pricing, vehicle tracking, maintenance, location services, emergency response and disaster services, air quality monitoring, into the digital twin in the future.

SAMPAŞ Holding' Chairman of the Board of Directors of Şekip Karakaya said, “The predictions of the United Nations say that approximately 70 percent of the world's population will live in cities by 2050. To respond to the increase in urban population, architects and designers are developing innovative solutions to make the cities of the future smarter and more sustainable. It is necessary to start working today in order to solve the problems related to urbanization and plan the cities of the future. The way to do this is through digital twin technology. There are two basic questions that need to be answered when creating digital twins of cities. The first of these is “How can we analyze the current situation of the city and collect regular data?” The second important question is how can we predict the geographical and social behavior of the city?” There is only one answer to both of these questions. And that's data. The most important issue for digital twin technology is data sustainability, so that all possible problems of the city, including disasters, are solved before they occur. For example, by implementing digital twin solutions, we can accurately model and predict the impact of extreme weather events, enabling authorities to take proactive measures to reduce risks and protect citizens' lives and property.

Digital Twin Solution to Traffic Problem

The solution to cities' traffic problems lies in digital twin technology. Every Istanbulite loses 89 hours a year in traffic

Smart City Based on Digital Twin

Today, more than half of the world's population of approximately 8 billion lives in cities. It is predicted that by 2050, approximately 2.5 billion more people will live in urban areas worldwide. In order for life in cities to continue in a healthy and sustainable way, planning should be done from a holistic perspective and technology should be use

The Role of Smart City in Disaster Management

According to the United Nations' estimates, 68 percent of the world's population will live in cities in 2050. This situation will cause much greater responsibility for local governments in case of disasters that the world has experienced or will experience. This will quickly bring the Smart City reality to the agenda. Smart City to reach 1.5 trilli

Urban Design Before Urban Transformation

While increasing population density causes cities to grow rapidly and unevenly, it also prevents cities from becoming human-centered. Considering that more than 2.5 billion people will live in cities around the world by 2050, this rapid and uneven growth will affect human life even more deeply.

Sampaş Holding – ITU Cooperation

SAMPAŞ Holding, which has been trying to strengthen and popularize the smart city approach by using the power of informatics for 42 years, and Istanbul Technical University (ITU) launched the Smart Cities Innovation Center (AKIM) and started working together to design the urban life of the future and to develop cities in a healthy and sustainable w

Impact of Smart Cities on Security

While urbanization is increasing at a rapid pace, problems, especially security, are also growing at the same pace. While the unplanned and faster-than-expected growth of cities reveals urban inequalities, this can also endanger city security.

The Importance of Start-up Companies in Smart Cities

Increasing population, the problems our world is experiencing, and the rapid and irregular growth of cities direct local governments to smart city applications. Interest in startups working on smart city applications, which include many different areas from transportation to security, from data management to sustainability, is increasing day by day

The Role of Smart City in Forest Fires

Nowadays, the number of forest fires and their negative effects on life are increasing rapidly. Large-scale forest fires, especially in summer months, in different parts of the world, destroy ecosystems and threaten human life.

The Importance of Smart Cities in Flood Disasters

“By implementing digital twin solutions in cities, we can accurately model and predict the impact of extreme weather events, enabling authorities to take proactive measures to reduce risks and protect the lives and property of our citizens.”
