Collaborative governance model
CAICT ’ s Digital Twin City Research Report ( 2022 ) designated the period 2020 – 2030 as a stage of fast growth for China ’ s Digital Twin industry during which both the DT market and technology are developing in full swing .
However , cities represent a system far more complex than a space vehicle , an industrial product or a building . They involve social , economic , environmental and cultural factors as well as many other aspects . Humans are the main component of a city , and their different goals and behaviours can lead to various uncertainties in the process of urban governance . Application scenarios for Digital
Twins are complex , involving multiple factors and requiring multi-sectoral collaboration . Currently , one major challenge faced by all fields is a lack of collaboration among the government , high-tech firms , and relevant entities .
In 2015 , Singapore launched the ‘ Virtual Singapore ’ project to build a 1:1 scale model of 3D Singapore . Alongside improving relevant policies and regulations , the city-state placed an emphasis on enhancing public participation in digital governance , encouraging citizens to transform from consumers of Smart City services to creators and contributors . The government rolled out incentives for the market to provide cutting-edge technology , effective productivity and adequate financial support to inspire all parties to collaborate while enabling their full potential . By embedding technology in policies , products and services , Singapore ’ s model of collaborative digital governance reshaped the value chains for the government , businesses and the public and improved urban governance . �
