About

Dr. Paulo Raposo is a leading researcher at the intersection of geospatial science, urban informatics, and digital twin technology. His work focuses on how dynamic, data-rich virtual replicas of cities can be orchestrated to serve complex urban ecosystems. In his highly influential paper, "Digital twin of a city: Review of technology serving city needs" (2022, 187 citations), Dr. Raposo provides a foundational framework for adapting digital twin concepts from manufacturing and construction to the unique challenges of urban environments. This work critically examines what an urban digital twin should contain and how it must be structured to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of city systems. By bridging the gap between theoretical digital twin models and practical city governance, his research has become essential reading for urban planners, GIScientists, and smart city developers. Dr. Raposo’s contributions are shaping how we design, monitor, and manage the cities of tomorrow, making him a pivotal voice in the growing field of urban digital transformation.
