The European Citiverses Uniting for Inclusiveness project (CU) represents a transformative leap in urban digital innovation, offering an inclusive, accessible digital twin tailored to the needs of the broad diversity of citizens and visitors – no matter their age or abilities. By integrating state-of-the-art technology with user-centric and universal design, this initiative sets a new benchmark for smart, sustainable urban development in line with the EU’s digital strategy. Our collaborative approach, combining expertise across sectors and countries, promises to deliver a scalable, replicable model that enhances quality of life and drives digital inclusivity across Europe.
In the project an existing parametric digital twin will undergo substantial enhancement, evolving into a tool accessible to a broader audience. The project champions the principles of universal design, ensuring the digital twin’s utility and accessibility to all citizens, thereby embodying the EU’s vision of open, inclusive digital infrastructure. This commitment includes alignment with key EU policies like the Green Deal, Digital Compass, and EU Data Strategy, further underscoring the project’s relevance and impact.
