BMC begins process to create virtual model of entire Mumbai city
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which last September created a 3D map of Worli to help in infrastructure planning and development, has now started the process of creating a digital model of the entire city.
This 3D model, a “digital twin” of Mumbai, will have complete details of roads, bridges, flyovers, underpasses and tunnels, buildings, modes of transport, gardens and open spaces, water bodies, all civic amenities, street lights, traffic signals, trees, landscape, airports and slums.
Once ready, this will help in urban planning for development and infrastructure projects, disaster management, environment analysis, classification of buildings and assessment of amenities.
