Future-oriented research project of RIB SE, Stuttgart. Digital city planning in the industry 4.0 era - Seite 2

Modern workplaces, affordable houses in an appealing, sensitive, smart networked urban concept, will be created transparently and comprehensibly, taking into account the general public. The city of Heidelberg gets -in addition to the historic old town, the castle and the constantly renewed university- another internationally visible highlight.

"I am very pleased that we have found a strong and renowned partner with RIB. Their technique allows us to compare town-planning designs with different depths of detail - and at the same time visualize the different designs in models. This will allow us to build more cost-effectively and to discuss planning options in public," says Lord Mayor Prof. Würzner.

"Patrick-Henry-Village has the potential to create a sensation as a model for a city quarter of the future. This is what our technology is all about. With iTWOcity, we are launching the world's first IT research project in Heidelberg for the complete virtual planning of an entire district," explains Prof. Dr. Schuhmacher, Executive Board Member of iTWOcity AG.
