Policy Making Outputs
​
DUET is developed by cities for cities. DUET’s digital twins promote data-driven decision making by building a comprehensive, virtual representation of a city's processes. With the right data points, DUET digital twins provide a business-level view that can be used to measure, analyse and predict operational impact across an entire city or region. This end-to-end, real-time, visibility enables cities to understand what is happening across its multi-disciplinary domains and services. With this knowledge, cities can react quickly to events and simulate alternative policy and operational approaches based on real data, as opposed to making assumptions based on generalized expectations.
​
Results from DUET that are useful for policy making can be found below.

Digital Twin Maturity Model Strategy Phase
​
This phase is the starting point for many smaller to medium sized cities. It is characterised by the fact that the city already has a digital transformation strategy along with the political will to create local digital twins for enhancing it's decision making and urban planning processes. Enablers to help the city move forward with this phase includes, the ability to source funding for getting started, being able to leverage existing digital twin models, and the availability of urban open data sources.
​
Questions to ask at this stage include: What is a digital twin? How can a digital twin support better evidence based decisions? Who else has implemented digital twins? What case studies are available?
