Earth Observation, with its Digital twins, as virtual replicas of physical entities, enable the dynamic modeling of ecosystems and infrastructure networks, providing actionable insights into sustainable urban development, environmental protection, and resource management. By integrating high-resolution Earth Observation data, these digital models can offer near real-time monitoring and predictive analytics for urban planning, environmental conservation, and sustainable green energy transition strategies.
This year’s workshop, organized by the Foresight and Strategic Planning Office of the Politecnico di Torino, will delve into the modern applications of digital mapping, artificial intelligence, and ICT. Participants will uncover how these technologies enable near real-time capabilities, focusing on urban planning improvements in carbon-free mobility, building energy performance (including buildings of historical interest), and environmental management.
ECOMONDO 2024 serves as a prestigious platform to exchange ideas among leaders and innovators as they discuss the pivotal role of advanced technologies in making urban management more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. This event is not just a platform for learning but a beacon for change, providing actionable insights that can be implemented to foster the green transition.
