Organized in partnership by the University of Florida, Universidad de Cuenca, University of Stuttgart, and Urban AI, Digital Twins for Resilient Urban Environments (DTRUE) is an international conference on the application of digital twin technology to urban design and planning. The conference invites researchers and practitioners to submit work in relation to Digital twins (DT). DTs are AI-powered virtual replicas of physical systems that support real-time monitoring, predictive modeling, and scenario testing, enabling system-wide insight and informed decision-making. Urban Digital Twins (UDTs) focus on representing the built environment at the urban scale. They describe both physical objects and non-physical things, such as processes, by providing all relevant information and services through a unified interface. The purpose of UDTs is to enhance planning and management, thereby achieving more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable urban environments. By integrating urban infrastructure, natural ecosystems, and socioeconomic dynamics, UDTs are positioned as a transformative technology that aids disaster response and enhances climate resilience.
Is an urban theorist and urban storyteller with a background in architecture. Carl serves as the Assistant Director of the Florida Institute for Built Environment Resilience (FIBER)and Assistant Scholar at the School of Architecture at the University of Florida (UF). Brisotto holds a Ph.D. in Design, Construction, and Planning from UF and a Professional Architecture degree from the University IUAV of Venice. At the core of Carla’s research lies the intersection of urbanism and environmental narratives. Her research focuses on productive landscapes and climate change’s asymmetric impacts on population and their places through contemporary and historical lenses. Carla employs storytelling as a research method and works closely with communities within the Florida Resilient Cities Lab to understand the dynamics of spontaneous urban transformation. Currently, Carla is leading the international project “ReclaiMEDLand” funded by the Department of State of the United States of America, APS–Annual Program Statement 2023.
