City of the Future - Future District Alliance

Dassault Systemes and CATIA joined Fraunhofer IAO City of the Future - Future District Alliance with real estate companie, cities Munich and Pforzheim  energy suppliers, districts developers and construction companies to work on solutions for future districts and the city of the future. The alliance brings together experts from different fields to create a more sustainable, efficient, and livable urban environment.


One of the key objectives of the research alliance is to leverage digital technology to create virtual twins of future districts and cities. 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for modeling and simulation allows to explore the potential impacts of different designs on the environment, energy usage, and society.

The alliance also focuses on sustainability. The entities are working on solutions to reduce carbon footprints and mitigate the effects of climate change. This includes the development of smart grid systems, renewable energy sources, and sustainable transportation solutions.

In addition, the partnership aims to create more livable and connected urban environments. This includes the concepts development of smart buildings and homes, as well as improved transportation systems that reduce congestion and improve mobility.

The alliance has the potential to make a significant impact on the future of urban planning and design. By combining the expertise and resources of these entities, the alliance is working towards creating cities that are smarter, more sustainable, and more livable than ever before.

Overall, this research alliance demonstrates the power of collaboration in tackling complex urban challenges. By bringing together expertise from different industries and sectors, we can work towards creating a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
