About the Project

LDT4SSC is building a federated, interoperable ecosystem of Local Digital Twins across Europe — virtual representations of real places that help communities understand, plan and improve their environment. Working alongside the EU's Local Digital Twin Toolbox, GAIA-X and CitiVERSE, the project brings data, infrastructure and innovation together to address today's most pressing urban challenges.
