The approach to delivering a National Digital Twin for the United Kingdom

Published today, The approach to delivering a National Digital Twin for the United Kingdom outlines the National Digital Twin Programme’s progress to date, while looking ahead to the development of the Information Management Framework. It should be read in partnership with the 'Pathway towards an Information Management Framework: a ‘Commons’ for a Digital Built Britain.

The National Digital Twin programme, led by the Centre for Digital Built Britain and the Digital Framework Task Group (DFTG), is playing a key role in the digital transformation of the UK’s Infrastructure and built environment.

Following the publication of Data for the Public Good by the National Infrastructure Commission in 2017, the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) has been tasked by HM Government to develop the National Digital Twin (NDT) programme to create a smart nation that will improve lives, strengthen our economy and have a lasting positive effect on the environment that will benefit future generations.
