Among which, 51WORLD’s digital twin PaaS platform-WDP (world developers’ platform) will play a big part.  SAMPAŞ was established on February 7, 1981 in Adana, Turkey. Since its establishment, the company has given vertical support services & products in the ICT sector and the local government market respectively. SAMPAŞ is known as one of the first companies starting software development in municipal market in Turkey. And it is also Turkey’s first “Smart City” architect. SAMPAŞ aims to be a pioneer and guiding company in this sector by materializing “Smart Urban Transformation” projects, which is logical and without compromising social benefits to income and profit. SAMPAŞ aims to build “Smart, Aesthetic and Sustainable” cities for Turkey’s urban transformation."The strategic cooperation with 51WORLD is of great significance and it will help us in developing smart cities, artificial intelligence and big data in Turkey to a great extent," said Mr. Şekip Karakaya, Chairman of the Board of SAMPAŞ. Strategic Partnership Certificate51WORLD has collaborated with SAMPAŞ long before the signing of the strategic agreement. The two parties have jointly built the city brain of Osmaniye in south Turkey, in which a digital twin of a 40 km² built-up area and a 3km² core area were created, empowering Osmaniye’s smart development in people's livelihood, public safety, and refined governance. Digital Twin Base of Osmaniye CityThis project enables administrators to simulate, monitor, diagnose and manage the city through accurate status perception, real-time data analysis, model decision-making and intelligent execution, thus reducing the complexity and uncertainty in the closed-loop process of urban planning, designing, construction and management. It improves the allocation and operation of material, intellectual and information resources, and stimulates the endogenous development of the digital twin city.The Osmaniye city brain is one of the pilot projects in Turkey. While building up the digital twin, 51WORLD has consistently adjusted and optimized as per the actual situation of the physical city. As a result, the project has achieved global perception in one center, fine governance in one system, and coordinated command on one platform. The implementation of the Osmaniye city brain takes the lead in applying digital twin technology in urban governance and helps Turkey in developing smart cities."New infrastructure" has caught on in Turkey as the government attaches great importance to the digital economy, and spares no efforts in promoting new infrastructure construction.

EC5 in the Metaverse - Fully Empowering a New Era of Web 3.0
EC5 in the Metaverse - Fully Empowering a New Era of Web 3.0
 EC5-51WORLD’s 5th earth clone summit, which is technology-filled and future-oriented, was held on August 18th, 2022, at 51WORLD's newly opened 255,000 m2 metaverse space-51Island. During the conference, 51WORLD released its newly upgraded product matrix, including 1 platform, 2 products and 3 industry applications, which will enable the digital twin industry enter the "L4+W4" stage and contribute to the digitization of Web 3.0 toward a new era.   Yi Li, founder, and CEO of 51WORLD, mentioned that "Oriented to the Web 3.0 era, we are required to possess sufficient technical capabilities to empower our partners and offer products and applications with all-new values to the industry. So far, 51WORLD has formed a new generation of product matrix ranging from platform to product and then to ecology, assisting enterprises in iterating demands and providing new solutions."  ‍As important part of this conference, Yi Li released WDP, a new iteration of the digital twin PaaS platform; MS2, two upgraded metaverse applications, 51Sim, a simulation test platform for autonomous driving; and 51ISE - a new generation industry simulation algorithm platform for three major industry applications, TOC - a twin space operation service platform, and 51CIM – a city information model platform.   As a result of the new generation of product matrix, the conference is full of highlights: All-element scene (AES) goes into mass production at L3, official launch of the 100 Digital Twin City Plan; newly upgraded MS2, a metaverse application, fully empowering the implementation of large-scale meetings and exhibitions in the metaverse; 51Sim adheres its original intention of openness and open source being open + open-source to empower the mass production of Autonomous driving via a data-driven closed loop of a home-grown self-research platform; benchmark use cases in three application directions are available to the public for the first time, and industry applications advance further.  01Autonomous Mass Production of AES at L3 AccuracyA 100 Digital Twin City Plan Officially Launched Since the release of WDP4.0, a new-generation digital twin PaaS platform, in Sep. 2021, 51WORLD has kept a three-monthly iteration rate, dedicated to offering a digital twin creation platform that is of "low threshold, high quality” to every industry. Up to now, over 25,000 developers have worked with 51WORLD to upgrade the new digital twin PaaS platform. As underlying support for the PaaS platform, AES has been upgraded with breakthroughs and is now officially in mass production in the L3 era. At the conference, Yi Li officially announced the "100 Digital Twin City Plan" and pointed out that 51WORLD will upgrade the digital twin base of 100 cities to L3 accuracy as of the end of December this year, starting from August 2022.  "This major upgrade of AES will enable more effectiveness, less required storage space and higher speed," Yi Li stressed at the conference. Among them, as for more effectiveness, Autonomous generation of AES will be greatly beyond the effect of L2, modular generation at L3 is comparable to the accuracy of manual modeling; as for less required storage space, only one-third of the storage space is required compared to that of at L2 in tradition; and as for higher speed, modular generation at L3 just takes 1/2 time that of at L2, which is a significant increase in efficiency. In addition to AES, a simultaneous upgrade is realized for DaaS digital asset library, Editor non-linear editing, API, and Cloud native based on the WDP platform. 02Upgrade of MS2Official Launch of 255,000 m2 Metaverse In the Web3.0 era, every enterprise should be equipped with an exclusive metaverse space, just as necessary as an official website in the Web1.0 era and an APP in the Web2.0 era. The 51WORLD metaverse application provides companies with consumers, goods, and scenarios in the metaverse era. The 51WORLD metaverse applications are characterized by three highlights: immersive and realistic scenarios, unique digital avatar, and open and convenient creator tools. The newly upgraded MS2, with an extra-large space of 255,000 m2, is a metaverse application designed for large-scale activities such as conferences, expos, etc. The entire venue is in the shape of a five-petal flower, of which each petal is an independent exhibition hall of 51,000 m2.   Besides Hall A, which was firstly opened for EC5, the rest four halls will be opened one after another from September to December.  Unlike 2D video conference that brings a uniform communication feeling, the metaverse enables interaction that shows individuality and a sense of expectation because of the unpredictability of what will happen next.   0351SimAccelerated Closed-loop Driven by Data for Autonomous Driving 51Sim is the domestic auto industry simulation software developed by 51WORLD with a R&D investment of over 100 million RMB over 5 years. Up till now, 51Sim has formed a sound product ecology, with the implementation of closed-loop cloud simulation that is driven by data, which is independent and controllable, and high confidence perception simulation that is deeply integrated with software and hardware, and full-stack simulation that is integrated with software and hardware through open source.  Right now, Autonomous driving is on the eve of mass production. 51Sim has formed a full industry ecology targeting the market demand and built a series of benchmark cases, such as HAOMO.AI (a data-driven cloud simulation), Horizon Robotics (a computing platform for perceptual simulation), a multi-vehicle platform for SMVIC, etc. 51Sim will also keep in line with the market to accelerate the implementation of China's Autonomous driving mass production through deep industry integration, domestic open-source controllability, and a data-driven closed loop.  04Three Industrial ApplicationsEnable the Full Entry of Digital Twin into L4+W4 Stage Accuracy Level and Application Dimension are two keywords in describing the industry application of digital twin, where digital twin scene is divided by five levels from L1 to L5, and there are five application stages from W1 to W5. Yi Li said in his speech, "Currently, the industrial application has evolved to L4+W4 stage. Oriented to a new trend, we will present the debut of benchmark cases of three industrial applications."   01 51ISE, a new-generation industry simulation algorithm platform W4, a new stage of deepening evolution of the digital twin, is in dire need of support from a cross-industry simulation platform. 51ISE comes into being as the times require, which integrates industry algorithm simulation, engineering system simulation, natural environment simulation, social activity simulation, and emergency simulation in one and has been applied in fields such as industry, energy, water conservancy, rail, transportation, etc. Numerous cases have been implemented so far. Take smart factory as an example, 51ISE can restore every robot arm, every part and every craftsmanship exactly like those in the real world. Such an advanced approach for manufacturing can be used to build a digital twin factory efficiently and cost-effectively, and applied in the full lifecycle of simulation for factory design in its early stage, factory construction in its middle stage, and factory operation in its later stage.   As part of the construction of a smart factory of CREG (China Railway Engineering Equipment Group), 51WORLD enables auxiliary decision-making in terms of production process optimization, quality control, O&M of equipment and management of energy and carbon peak & neutrality, with the ISE platform as the base and the digital twin technology as the core, thereby contributing to the digitization of the factory.   02 TOC, an operation service platform for twin spaces Distinct from traditional IOC products, the TOC platform features six core capabilities: realistic digital twin scene, Spatial-temporal computing, open editing, full process simulation, presence services, and multi-terminal interaction. Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City (YZBSTC) in Hainan Province, which is the first to integrate the capabilities of the 51WORLD TOC platform, is empowered with a digital twin for park management, comprehensively reflecting trends of all aspects and speeding up digital construction. Moreover, a second upgrade is realized for TOC Low Carbon Smart Community, which provides managers with more smart decision support based on green energy construction and investment by region-wide carbon monitoring, carbon planning simulation and carbon emission prediction.   03 51CIM, a new generation information model platform for digital twin cities "As a city seeks growth, infrastructure is required at first. Likewise, the infrastructure for the digital economy is required for its development. Undoubtedly, city-level L4 is precisely one of the infrastructures for the digital city of the future," Yi Li believes.   51CIM creates an infrastructure base in terms of data use path, scene use path, scene accuracy, interaction depth, etc., for further advancing the construction of smart cities. It is characterized by multi-source data fusion, multi-precision scenario operation, high-performance computing, efficient & open maintenance, and re-use of data elements, which can meet requirements for system construction, such as wide projects range, long time period, high data security, outcome data reusability, etc. 05 Eight Industry ExpertsElaborate on Industry Development in the Metaverse Era 51WORLD invited experts and scholars from various fields, such as government, technology, finance, consumption, etc., in the metaverse forum in the afternoon to share their ideas.  As a representative of the government, Niu Hailong, Executive Deputy Director of Beijing Central Business District Management Committee, shared his thoughts on "Beijing CBD Accelerates the Construction of a Digital CBD to be a Benchmark District with Global Influence". Deputy Director Niu talked about the journey of Beijing CBD to build a digital CBD benchmark district with global influence, citing a series of digital applications such as 51WORLD's digital twin platform and CBD GLOBAL RECEPTION HALL for Beijing CBD as examples.   Representatives from the technology sector, Sun Dan, Senior Vice President of Seagate Technology Global and President of China, Li Feng, President of Moore Threads Moore College, Chen Yidan, Director of IoT Campus of JDT, and Zhou Qiuye, Vice President of NEXTDATA, provided in-depth analysis from the perspectives of data security, meta computing, enterprise services, content regulation, etc.   Professional interpretations from the perspective of metaverse industry development and investment were given by Xu Yingbo, Managing Director & Chief Technology Industry Analyst of CITIC Securities Research Department, and Zhang Liangwei, Co-Director / Managing Director / Head of TMT Team of Soochow Securities Research Institute, representing the financial sector.   Besides, Xu Feng, COO of Haoxinqing, presented a professional lecture on the status and direction of VR technology in the mental and psychological field at the conference, representing the medical field.   06Decipher the Industry MetaverseFirst Eco-partners Settled in Metaverse 51WORLD officially released the Industry Metaverse on July 22, co-authored with over 10 experts and scholars in the industry. The book explains detailly differences between the experiential metaverse and industrial metaverse, clarifies the value and significance of the industrial metaverse, and provides deep analysis on issues about its practice and future with various insights in seven fields: City, transportation, industry, energy, etc.    At EC5, Wu Yaguang, Vice President of 51WORLD and the lead author of the book, gave an interpretation of the Industry Metaverse that "how the virtual industrial metaverse empowers the real ecology for a new round of growth".Mr. Xu Yuanchong, Chairman of Dasansheng Group & Founder of Metaverse 30 Forum, offered a systematic analysis on applications and market demands of metaverse technology in industries in terms of opportunities and challenges faced by industrial metaverse.  As key technology in realizing digital upgrading in the Web 3.0 era, what issues the metaverse can solve in society and which industries it can empower are key questions that the Industry Metaverse hopes to inspire people to discuss.  The publication of Industry Metaverse is an important guide for the metaverse from concept to implementation.

Different Levels of Digital Twin: L1-L5
Different Levels of Digital Twin: L1-L5
Integrating elements of visual reality, geographic information, physical simulation, and free interaction, 51WORLD created AES (All Element Scene) in 2018, which has accelerated the digitalization of many industries with digital twin technology. The company also classified the restorations of the physical world, according to their visual accuracies, into five levels from L1 to L5, a standard widely adopted in grading digital twin scenes.▲All Element Scene at 51WORLD EC3 Conference51WORLD's R&D as well as applications have been greatly improved after years of toiling in the digital twin industry.Today, 51WORLD once again upgraded its AES : including L1 to L5, and proposed five specific application stages from W1 to W5 for the first time. As always, 51WORLD keeps the industrial demands in mind and exploits its years of experimentation in the industry. Integrated with elements such as multi-source data, physical parameters, and texture accuracy, the enterprise came up with a new scenario grading standard, offering a more refined and more reliable base for digital twin. 01 Everything is based on data-a link between virtual and real world. The real world is made up of a collection of natural elements such as mountains, rivers and trees, as well as an all-encompassing combination of things created by human beings such as buildings, roads and vehicles. However, in the virtual world, everything is about data, and data is everything. One must be sure about one key question before replicating the real world with AES: what is AES?AES is the digital expression of everything in the world. Although it is composed of virtual data, it can express the hyper realistic world. Simply put, it presents everything in the physical world into the virtual world, and the degrees of restored accuracy are classified into L1-L5, namely city-level L1, regional-level L2, scene-level L3, component-level L4, part-level L5. So, what capabilities does AES have? How can it replicate the real world?Since it is a "replica", all data are from the real world. Based on its multi-source data compatibility, AES can access and process data from GIS, OSGB, DOM / DEM, BIM, CAD and so on. All physical elements from the real world, such as terrain, buildings, roads, and waters, can be dynamically adjusted by AES, to reconstruct everything in the virtual world.The first and foremost capability of a digital twin scene is to gather and manage all the elements in the real physical world with colossal data and super-efficient dynamic loading, as well as to provide an interactive operating system through real-time rendering, thus generating a dynamic virtual world that is no different from the real one.This ability to construct fully simulated 3D dynamic scenes consists of the following eight basic capabilities:· Automated generation based on DOM and GIS data: AI algorithms can automatically generate urban scenes from DOM and GIS data.· Reconstruction and generation based on OSGB data: Computer semantic recognition algorithm can automatically lightweight reconstruct based on oblique photography / lidar scanning,· Automated generation based on BIM data: Automated transformation and generation based on BIM models, while retaining the catalogs and attributes of all components and parts· Procedural generation of specific scenes: Rapid generation of specific scenes based on procedural algorithms, such as transmission stations and power grids· HD map-based generation: Generation of high-precision road scenes based on the reconstruction of point cloud models of HD map· Construction based on massive digital asset library: Rapidly build scenes based on matching the features from massive digital asset library· Reconstruction and generation based on photo topology: 3D topology reconstruction and generation model based on real photos· Rapid construction based on PaaS platform: Secondary editing of scenes based on PaaS platform.02 Five Levels to Accurately Restore the Required ScenesAES can be divided into five levels, according to the different needs from macro to micro, with the higher level indicating a higher degree of visual, geographical and physical accuracy.1. City levelThe primary city-level simulated scenes, based on GIS data, are mainly used to restore large-scale pictures such as the topography, mountains, lakes and urban layouts. The coordinate accuracy is within 5 meters, and large-scale scenes of tens of thousands of square kilometers can be restored.2. Regional levelThe intermediate regional-level simulated scenes can restore urban buildings, road information, traffic flow, and green plants in a more detailed way than the city-level scenes. The coordinate accuracy is within 5 meters, and it can restore large-scale scenes of thousands of square kilometers.3. Scene levelAs the most commonly applied scenes at current stage, the L3 simulated scenes can truthfully restore building details, dynamic traffic flows, and even the shades of light and shadow through data of GIS and satellite remote sensing. The coordinate accuracy is within one meter, which can restore medium-sized scenes of hundreds of square kilometers.4. Component levelThe super simulation scene, with a coordinate accuracy to the level of centimeter, can restore the centimeter details of road markings, traffic lights, vehicles and pedestrians in the city. It can be employed to construct small street scenes within one square kilometer.5. Part levelThis level of simulation can be called the real all-element simulation, in which people couldn’t tell the virtual from the real even when close-ups. With a more accurate restoration effect, even the textures of flowers and trees, and the shades of real-time lighting can be fully synchronized with those in the real world, which can be used to dynamically drive twin device model components with real-time data.03 Technical Capabilities Highlight Through Actual ApplicationsWhat are the application scenarios of AES L1-15?51WORLD divides the applications of AES into five stages: W1 visualization, W2 data fusion, W3 data-driven, W4 simulation, and W5 intelligent decision-making. After years of technical trials and practical applications, 51WORLD has successfully implemented use cases in each stage according to different requirements.We will elaborate the advantages of W1-W5 applications one by one with specific cases.1. VisualizationHigh-quality 3D scene can be generated with AES through real-time rendering, which can lend the users a sense of reality with realistic scenes. A wide range of applications can be categorized into this stage, including those in the metaverse scene, such as annual corporate party, meetings, interviews, etc. 2. Data FusionData fusion perfectly meets the demands of government and enterprise users, as they can converge and present a variety of data in a unified spatio-temporal model. These applications provide operators with quick and effective managing skills, which help to administer the city or park in one scene.3. Data-drivenAt this stage, the AES can turn static into dynamic, which can keep the virtual world in sync with the real one. For example, in a smart traffic scenario, the real-time changes of the traffic flow need to be dynamically synchronized in the digital twin scene, to achieve “what you see is what you get” for all elements.4. SimulationAt this stage, AES can accurately simulate the movement of objects in the real world, and even predict the changing tendencies. Simulation is widely used in scenarios of smart factories, smart ports, and smart subway to optimize operations.5.Intelligent Decision-making Intelligent decision-making is mostly applied in autonomous driving simulation tests, which can train AI on the basis of simulated environments and colossal case library. Powerful data analysis makes it possible to predict the potential trends in the physical world when circumstances change in a simulated scenario, so as to avoid risks in the real world, thus making it more efficient, safe and better.The formulation of AES data and standards has laid the foundation for building a real and complete digital twin world, and provided the underlying technical support for 51WORLD’s vision of cloning the earth. Be it a high-precision rendering scene or a large-scale global landscape, the ultra-efficient dynamic loading technology and ultra-large-scale data access capabilities allow users to embark on a free journey of going deeper and higher. In the future, 51WORLD will continue to hone its AES and deliver effective digital twin applications with ecological partners, to facilitate the digital transformation of the government and enterprises, accelerating the development of the digital economy and contributing to building a digital China.

Professor Gao Yanli: Digital Twin Opens the Door of a Wonderful Era
Professor Gao Yanli: Digital Twin Opens the Door of a Wonderful Era
Editor’s note：With the rollout of state policies as well as the setup of national new areas such as Xiong’an, the digital twin has penetrated into all aspects of the smart city from the traditional manufacturing industry, greatly enriching people’s imagination of the future urban form.Meanwhile, we should fully understand the complexity of digital twin technology. Enterprises that underestimate the difficulties of implementing digital twin, being reluctant to invest in R&D and unwilling to seek industrial collaboration, are unlikely to succeed or go too far in the market.In this article, we are honored to invite Professor Gao Yanli, chief expert of a smart city at the CAICT, a scientific research institution directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), to catch a glimpse of this splendid digital twin world and envision the future direction of digital twin technology.Gao Yanli, chief expert of a smart city at the CAICTDigital twins can be regarded as the quintessence of the digital age. The straightforward and prevalent concept that combines the virtual and the real opens the door of intelligence, providing people with new insights into understanding and changing the world even without venturing out.Digital twin cities successfully address the two issues of smart city architecture integration and governance collaboration, pushing the construction of smart cities to new heights. However, we should be sober that digital twin technology is complex and the industry should not blindly follow the trend. We ought to be persistent in creating the hard-core products of digital twins, to be worthy of this exquisite, mysterious and wonderful digital twin era.01 The digital twin revolutionizes the worldThe digital twin is prevailing in various industries. It has been a buzzword in the last two or three years at home and abroad, with a stunning number of studies and researches. The concept has been identified by many institutions as one of the top strategic technology trends that affect the world.National ministries such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Science and Technology, rolled out policies and supporting programs to promote the basic research and applications of digital twins in the industrial and urban fields. Local governments are scrambling to build the first digital twin city while the industry is racing to come up with the latest digital twin solutions in order to take the lead in this cutting-edge technology.The digital twin has permeated the society in fields of the government, industries, factories, and cities. It has become the law of digital development about which everyone is talking about. That’s why the industries, capitals, and policies are rushing into this technology.Digital twins are indeed popular now.Conceptually, the digital twin reaches a wide range of audiences in only a couple of years as the buzzword is vivid and straightforward. Technologically, the ever-changing information technologies have made most people deeply convinced in the vision of digital twins. From single-point applications to integrated innovations, the digital twin is the milestone in China’s information-oriented development, and it may be the starting point of humans striding into the intelligent era. Exciting roads await.In terms of values, as China is reforming its administrative system, constructing a city of digital twin will reshape the urban digital genes and modernize the governance system. The digital twin redefines intelligent industrial parks, creating a new model of multi-dimensional performance management while the digital twin factories provide the best solutions for digitalizing the whole procedure of manufacturing including design, production, and assembling. As for the digital twin of the human body, it is opening up a new world of medical services with its unique perspective.Digital twin transforms the world. As the ancient Chinese Sage Lao Tse once stated that all things under heaven sprung from the existed and the existed sprung from the non-existed, the digital twin exemplifies the relationship of the existed and the non-existed in virtualizing the real world.The ubiquitous perception and integration, the interaction between the virtual and the real, they support and complement each other. The digital twin enables accurate mapping and perceptive insights even without venturing outside. In controlling the moving with the static and manipulating the real with the virtual, digital twin maps out influential strategies based on the intangible.Digital twin changes the industry rules, optimizes the development path and remodels operation, providing new ideas, perspectives and methods for various industries. It greatly shortens the development path of the industry and triggers profound technological changes in the industry’s systems, mechanisms, structures and rules. In digitalizing everything from macro to micro, a digital twin is pivotal in revolutionizing the world.02 Digital twin reshapes the governance systemThough significant progress has been made in the system cloud and data sharing, smart city construction still hits two bottlenecks, one in technology integration and the other in governance collaboration. Most intelligent city construction is still in its infancy of industrial information building, for want of technical and business architectures for the integrated urban governance. Hardware and software infrastructure, data, algorithms, technical capabilities, toolsets, and block applications are difficult to be incorporated into one architecture, to form a scalable functional system for further iteration. A vacuum exists in discrete, ineffective and inefficient managing systems. It is a daunting task to synchronize the management of different regions, lines and blocks.Digital twin reconstructs the overall architecture of smart cities. In terms of technologies, the digital twin city model platform incorporates the underlying infrastructure, static and dynamic data, core system and technical capability, applications and supporting system, achieving collaborative governance and the integration of the real and the virtual. The underlying infrastructure, consisting of traditional information infrastructure and the new infrastructure, reshapes the urban digital genes and creates an intelligent operating environment with its powerful abilities to perceive, transmit, compute and control.Therefore, the advent of digital twin cities provides an opportunity for and chart the course of reconstructing the overall architecture of a smart city and specifies the levels and paths of integration. By establishing a collaborative platform of the urban brain, the digital twin city connects the systems of urban management, ecological governance, traffic control, market supervision, emergency response, public security, etc.Driven by major events and special scenarios, based on the digital twin city model platform and equipped with its integrated data, algorithms and tools, the digital twin city is able to formulate a closed-loop procedure of proactive awareness, preemptive governance, and optimized plan, realizing coordinated management of urban governance.Digital twin virtualizes public services. Typical features such as global vision, accurate mapping, simulation, virtual-real interaction and intelligent intervention of digital twin cities are accelerating the innovation of urban governance and services, bringing about a number of super applications with a global perspective.As the representative scenarios of digital twin cities lie mostly in urban governance, such as planning, constructing, ecosystem, market and traffic, the unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 expedites the digitalization of the whole society and speeds up the implementation of virtualized public services. Digitalized contactless post-Internet life experiences such as online education, medical treatment and cultural performances greatly enrich the life of the public and give the citizens more choices. In the future, the urban form will lean towards digital aggregation and physical separation.The digital twin is devoted to improving modern governance. The COVID-19 pandemic exposes serious deficiencies in the global governance system such as the incapable emergency response mechanism, inadequate disease control plans, inaccurate information release, lagging public opinion guidance, inadequate resource allocation and insufficient decision-making ability. Although smart cities have played a significant role in containing the epidemic, the problems of unscheduled resources, unanalyzed data, unorganized manpower and inefficient network persist. Cooperative citizens and responsible local governments have become the backbone of China’s fighting against the epidemic.As Lao Tse pointed out that action should be taken before a thing has made its appearance and order should be secured before disorder has begun, the all-element expression, visualization of multidimensional data and scenes, spatial computing, overlaying analysis, simulation and remote control of the digital twin city as well as the derived abilities to identify urban risks, observing city operation, tracking trajectory, controlling events, deducing, simulating emergency plans and allocating resources, echo with the demands of modern governance in innovation, coordination, prevention, supervision and organization, making it a major booster for improving the governance system.The wave of new infrastructure is accelerating the development of digital twin cities. Previously, the precise mapping and virtual-real interaction of a digital twin city were largely dependent on the IoT, and as China’s new infrastructure unfolds, it has expanded to assimilate all the components of the new infrastructure, including 5G, IoT, edge computing, data centers, as well as the intelligent transformation of municipal facilities, industrial equipment and public services.By means of intensive spatial layout, the city will form a new overall structure of ubiquitous identifying, perceiving, connecting and computing, to intelligently define everything. It will unleash the operations and services of the infrastructure for the public, enabling the digital transformation of all walks of life.The massive construction of the new infrastructure will greatly lower the cost of building a digital twin city and strongly support the simultaneous operation of the virtual and the real, thus speeding up the construction of the digital twin city.03 The journey of digital twins: a long way to goTo implement a digital twin is more complex than imagined. Enormous basic theories need to be deeply studied, the huge number of technical solutions need to be explored, massive application scenarios need to be verified and colossal mechanisms need to break through before a digital twin really accomplishes precise mapping, twin parallel and the virtual serving the real, be it a factory, a city or a human body.The digital twin is a tremendous project of intellectual integration of knowledge, technologies, data, algorithms, tools and applications, thereby needing a powerful supporting industrial ecology.For creating a digital twin city, depicting the appearance is one thing, while accurately expressing the city’s content, personality, characteristics and rules with technical means such as models, data, algorithms and tools, is another. In the underlying new infrastructure, the lack of reasonable plans and specifications for the intensive layout of urban space, the invisible social relationships between urban elements and the uncertainty of operating rules are all insurmountable obstacles for digital twin cities.Some domestic enterprises are more inclined to earn fast money. They churn out low-quality products, invest little on R&D and are reluctant to go deep into technological innovation. Some ride the tide of digital twins after the concept has been popularized.Instead of actively exploring the technology, they labeled the existing products as digital twins and introduced them into the market, seriously disrupting the industry and confusing public understanding. Given the complexity of digital twins, enterprises that underestimate the difficulties of implementing digital twin, being reluctant to invest in R&D and unwilling to seek industrial collaboration, are unlikely to succeed or go too far in the market.Currently, it is pressing to construct the digital twin cities while the technical solutions are far from mature. Although some encouraging progress has been made in visualizing city modeling, there is still a long way to go. Therefore, in order to promote the implementation of digital twin cities, on the one hand, the government should actively unleash the data and related resources to pave the way for piloting digital twin cities. On the other hand, the mechanisms should be integrated to establish adaptive organizational and business structures.The industry should actively build a complementarily cooperative ecology, to consistently verify the implementation of the solutions. Scientific research institutions should lead their way in innovation and strengthen relevant visionary basic research, removing the obstacles for governments and industries in implementing the digital twin cities.Never forget why you started, and you can accomplish your mission. Like every revolutionary technology, digital twin cities were questioned at the very beginning. People worried that in the gigantic network of a digital twin city, the city’s activities would all be under surveillance. It will be like a digital prison in which the citizens lose privacy and their actions are monitored. The concern is not without reason. For brutal managers, a digital twin city might be a disaster for the people but for the righteous ones, a digital twin city will increase the well-being of the people.Powerful technical means make the city smarter, more harmonious and efficient and the service more diverse, convenient, proactive and personalized. The management of the intelligent city is shifting from governance to services. In constructing a digital twin city, only by elevating the well-being of the people can it go far and steadily in the future.Digital twins open the door of understanding and changing the world, pushing digitalization and intelligent transformation to an admirable height. It might be substituted by more advanced technology later, but fortunately, the new wonderful era has just begun. Let us embrace it and create a bright future together!

SAMPAŞ aims to build “Smart, Aesthetic and Sustainable” cities for Turkey’s urban transformation."The strategic cooperation with 51WORLD is of great significance and it will help us in developing smart cities, artificial intelligence and big data in Turkey to a great extent," said Mr. Şekip Karakaya, Chairman of the Board of SAMPAŞ. Strategic Partnership Certificate51WORLD has collaborated with SAMPAŞ long before the signing of the strategic agreement. The two parties have jointly built the city brain of Osmaniye in south Turkey, in which a digital twin of a 40 km² built-up area and a 3km² core area were created, empowering Osmaniye’s smart development in people's livelihood, public safety, and refined governance. Digital Twin Base of Osmaniye CityThis project enables administrators to simulate, monitor, diagnose and manage the city through accurate status perception, real-time data analysis, model decision-making and intelligent execution, thus reducing the complexity and uncertainty in the closed-loop process of urban planning, designing, construction and management. It improves the allocation and operation of material, intellectual and information resources, and stimulates the endogenous development of the digital twin city.The Osmaniye city brain is one of the pilot projects in Turkey. While building up the digital twin, 51WORLD has consistently adjusted and optimized as per the actual situation of the physical city. As a result, the project has achieved global perception in one center, fine governance in one system, and coordinated command on one platform. The implementation of the Osmaniye city brain takes the lead in applying digital twin technology in urban governance and helps Turkey in developing smart cities."New infrastructure" has caught on in Turkey as the government attaches great importance to the digital economy, and spares no efforts in promoting new infrastructure construction. Digital economy has thus become a hot spot of high-quality BRI cooperation between China and Turkey, which ushers in great opportunities for enterprises in both countries.Against such a background, 51WORLD is keen on exporting value-added technologies to support the digital transformation and industrial upgrading of Turkish local government in all respects."51WORLD and SAMPAŞ are leaders in the fields of digital twins and smart cities respectively, and this strategic cooperation consolidates their strengths in these fields. This deal fosters further open and win-win collaboration between two parties to explore a broader global market," said Tang Zhe, global sales, and marketing director of 51WORLD, adding "this cooperation is expected to become an innovative model and flagship project in digital twins for Chinese brands in implementing the BRI.In the future, 51WORLD will further share its cutting-edge technologies and solutions in fields of smart cities, parks, and transportation, to build an open and complete digital twin ecology together with its partners.And in the meantime, we are glad to announce 51WORLD Global Partner Program.

EC5 in the Metaverse - Fully Empowering a New Era of Web 3.0
EC5 in the Metaverse - Fully Empowering a New Era of Web 3.0
 EC5-51WORLD’s 5th earth clone summit, which is technology-filled and future-oriented, was held on August 18th, 2022, at 51WORLD's newly opened 255,000 m2 metaverse space-51Island. During the conference, 51WORLD released its newly upgraded product matrix, including 1 platform, 2 products and 3 industry applications, which will enable the digital twin industry enter the "L4+W4" stage and contribute to the digitization of Web 3.0 toward a new era.   Yi Li, founder, and CEO of 51WORLD, mentioned that "Oriented to the Web 3.0 era, we are required to possess sufficient technical capabilities to empower our partners and offer products and applications with all-new values to the industry. So far, 51WORLD has formed a new generation of product matrix ranging from platform to product and then to ecology, assisting enterprises in iterating demands and providing new solutions."  ‍As important part of this conference, Yi Li released WDP, a new iteration of the digital twin PaaS platform; MS2, two upgraded metaverse applications, 51Sim, a simulation test platform for autonomous driving; and 51ISE - a new generation industry simulation algorithm platform for three major industry applications, TOC - a twin space operation service platform, and 51CIM – a city information model platform.   As a result of the new generation of product matrix, the conference is full of highlights: All-element scene (AES) goes into mass production at L3, official launch of the 100 Digital Twin City Plan; newly upgraded MS2, a metaverse application, fully empowering the implementation of large-scale meetings and exhibitions in the metaverse; 51Sim adheres its original intention of openness and open source being open + open-source to empower the mass production of Autonomous driving via a data-driven closed loop of a home-grown self-research platform; benchmark use cases in three application directions are available to the public for the first time, and industry applications advance further.  01Autonomous Mass Production of AES at L3 AccuracyA 100 Digital Twin City Plan Officially Launched Since the release of WDP4.0, a new-generation digital twin PaaS platform, in Sep. 2021, 51WORLD has kept a three-monthly iteration rate, dedicated to offering a digital twin creation platform that is of "low threshold, high quality” to every industry. Up to now, over 25,000 developers have worked with 51WORLD to upgrade the new digital twin PaaS platform. As underlying support for the PaaS platform, AES has been upgraded with breakthroughs and is now officially in mass production in the L3 era. At the conference, Yi Li officially announced the "100 Digital Twin City Plan" and pointed out that 51WORLD will upgrade the digital twin base of 100 cities to L3 accuracy as of the end of December this year, starting from August 2022.  "This major upgrade of AES will enable more effectiveness, less required storage space and higher speed," Yi Li stressed at the conference. Among them, as for more effectiveness, Autonomous generation of AES will be greatly beyond the effect of L2, modular generation at L3 is comparable to the accuracy of manual modeling; as for less required storage space, only one-third of the storage space is required compared to that of at L2 in tradition; and as for higher speed, modular generation at L3 just takes 1/2 time that of at L2, which is a significant increase in efficiency. In addition to AES, a simultaneous upgrade is realized for DaaS digital asset library, Editor non-linear editing, API, and Cloud native based on the WDP platform. 02Upgrade of MS2Official Launch of 255,000 m2 Metaverse In the Web3.0 era, every enterprise should be equipped with an exclusive metaverse space, just as necessary as an official website in the Web1.0 era and an APP in the Web2.0 era. The 51WORLD metaverse application provides companies with consumers, goods, and scenarios in the metaverse era. The 51WORLD metaverse applications are characterized by three highlights: immersive and realistic scenarios, unique digital avatar, and open and convenient creator tools. The newly upgraded MS2, with an extra-large space of 255,000 m2, is a metaverse application designed for large-scale activities such as conferences, expos, etc. The entire venue is in the shape of a five-petal flower, of which each petal is an independent exhibition hall of 51,000 m2.   Besides Hall A, which was firstly opened for EC5, the rest four halls will be opened one after another from September to December.  Unlike 2D video conference that brings a uniform communication feeling, the metaverse enables interaction that shows individuality and a sense of expectation because of the unpredictability of what will happen next.   0351SimAccelerated Closed-loop Driven by Data for Autonomous Driving 51Sim is the domestic auto industry simulation software developed by 51WORLD with a R&D investment of over 100 million RMB over 5 years. Up till now, 51Sim has formed a sound product ecology, with the implementation of closed-loop cloud simulation that is driven by data, which is independent and controllable, and high confidence perception simulation that is deeply integrated with software and hardware, and full-stack simulation that is integrated with software and hardware through open source.  Right now, Autonomous driving is on the eve of mass production. 51Sim has formed a full industry ecology targeting the market demand and built a series of benchmark cases, such as HAOMO.AI (a data-driven cloud simulation), Horizon Robotics (a computing platform for perceptual simulation), a multi-vehicle platform for SMVIC, etc. 51Sim will also keep in line with the market to accelerate the implementation of China's Autonomous driving mass production through deep industry integration, domestic open-source controllability, and a data-driven closed loop.  04Three Industrial ApplicationsEnable the Full Entry of Digital Twin into L4+W4 Stage Accuracy Level and Application Dimension are two keywords in describing the industry application of digital twin, where digital twin scene is divided by five levels from L1 to L5, and there are five application stages from W1 to W5. Yi Li said in his speech, "Currently, the industrial application has evolved to L4+W4 stage. Oriented to a new trend, we will present the debut of benchmark cases of three industrial applications."   01 51ISE, a new-generation industry simulation algorithm platform W4, a new stage of deepening evolution of the digital twin, is in dire need of support from a cross-industry simulation platform. 51ISE comes into being as the times require, which integrates industry algorithm simulation, engineering system simulation, natural environment simulation, social activity simulation, and emergency simulation in one and has been applied in fields such as industry, energy, water conservancy, rail, transportation, etc. Numerous cases have been implemented so far. Take smart factory as an example, 51ISE can restore every robot arm, every part and every craftsmanship exactly like those in the real world. Such an advanced approach for manufacturing can be used to build a digital twin factory efficiently and cost-effectively, and applied in the full lifecycle of simulation for factory design in its early stage, factory construction in its middle stage, and factory operation in its later stage.   As part of the construction of a smart factory of CREG (China Railway Engineering Equipment Group), 51WORLD enables auxiliary decision-making in terms of production process optimization, quality control, O&M of equipment and management of energy and carbon peak & neutrality, with the ISE platform as the base and the digital twin technology as the core, thereby contributing to the digitization of the factory.   02 TOC, an operation service platform for twin spaces Distinct from traditional IOC products, the TOC platform features six core capabilities: realistic digital twin scene, Spatial-temporal computing, open editing, full process simulation, presence services, and multi-terminal interaction. Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City (YZBSTC) in Hainan Province, which is the first to integrate the capabilities of the 51WORLD TOC platform, is empowered with a digital twin for park management, comprehensively reflecting trends of all aspects and speeding up digital construction. Moreover, a second upgrade is realized for TOC Low Carbon Smart Community, which provides managers with more smart decision support based on green energy construction and investment by region-wide carbon monitoring, carbon planning simulation and carbon emission prediction.   03 51CIM, a new generation information model platform for digital twin cities "As a city seeks growth, infrastructure is required at first. Likewise, the infrastructure for the digital economy is required for its development. Undoubtedly, city-level L4 is precisely one of the infrastructures for the digital city of the future," Yi Li believes.   51CIM creates an infrastructure base in terms of data use path, scene use path, scene accuracy, interaction depth, etc., for further advancing the construction of smart cities. It is characterized by multi-source data fusion, multi-precision scenario operation, high-performance computing, efficient & open maintenance, and re-use of data elements, which can meet requirements for system construction, such as wide projects range, long time period, high data security, outcome data reusability, etc. 05 Eight Industry ExpertsElaborate on Industry Development in the Metaverse Era 51WORLD invited experts and scholars from various fields, such as government, technology, finance, consumption, etc., in the metaverse forum in the afternoon to share their ideas.  As a representative of the government, Niu Hailong, Executive Deputy Director of Beijing Central Business District Management Committee, shared his thoughts on "Beijing CBD Accelerates the Construction of a Digital CBD to be a Benchmark District with Global Influence". Deputy Director Niu talked about the journey of Beijing CBD to build a digital CBD benchmark district with global influence, citing a series of digital applications such as 51WORLD's digital twin platform and CBD GLOBAL RECEPTION HALL for Beijing CBD as examples.   Representatives from the technology sector, Sun Dan, Senior Vice President of Seagate Technology Global and President of China, Li Feng, President of Moore Threads Moore College, Chen Yidan, Director of IoT Campus of JDT, and Zhou Qiuye, Vice President of NEXTDATA, provided in-depth analysis from the perspectives of data security, meta computing, enterprise services, content regulation, etc.   Professional interpretations from the perspective of metaverse industry development and investment were given by Xu Yingbo, Managing Director & Chief Technology Industry Analyst of CITIC Securities Research Department, and Zhang Liangwei, Co-Director / Managing Director / Head of TMT Team of Soochow Securities Research Institute, representing the financial sector.   Besides, Xu Feng, COO of Haoxinqing, presented a professional lecture on the status and direction of VR technology in the mental and psychological field at the conference, representing the medical field.   06Decipher the Industry MetaverseFirst Eco-partners Settled in Metaverse 51WORLD officially released the Industry Metaverse on July 22, co-authored with over 10 experts and scholars in the industry. The book explains detailly differences between the experiential metaverse and industrial metaverse, clarifies the value and significance of the industrial metaverse, and provides deep analysis on issues about its practice and future with various insights in seven fields: City, transportation, industry, energy, etc.    At EC5, Wu Yaguang, Vice President of 51WORLD and the lead author of the book, gave an interpretation of the Industry Metaverse that "how the virtual industrial metaverse empowers the real ecology for a new round of growth".Mr. Xu Yuanchong, Chairman of Dasansheng Group & Founder of Metaverse 30 Forum, offered a systematic analysis on applications and market demands of metaverse technology in industries in terms of opportunities and challenges faced by industrial metaverse.  As key technology in realizing digital upgrading in the Web 3.0 era, what issues the metaverse can solve in society and which industries it can empower are key questions that the Industry Metaverse hopes to inspire people to discuss.  The publication of Industry Metaverse is an important guide for the metaverse from concept to implementation.

Different Levels of Digital Twin: L1-L5
Different Levels of Digital Twin: L1-L5
Integrating elements of visual reality, geographic information, physical simulation, and free interaction, 51WORLD created AES (All Element Scene) in 2018, which has accelerated the digitalization of many industries with digital twin technology. The company also classified the restorations of the physical world, according to their visual accuracies, into five levels from L1 to L5, a standard widely adopted in grading digital twin scenes.▲All Element Scene at 51WORLD EC3 Conference51WORLD's R&D as well as applications have been greatly improved after years of toiling in the digital twin industry.Today, 51WORLD once again upgraded its AES : including L1 to L5, and proposed five specific application stages from W1 to W5 for the first time. As always, 51WORLD keeps the industrial demands in mind and exploits its years of experimentation in the industry. Integrated with elements such as multi-source data, physical parameters, and texture accuracy, the enterprise came up with a new scenario grading standard, offering a more refined and more reliable base for digital twin. 01 Everything is based on data-a link between virtual and real world. The real world is made up of a collection of natural elements such as mountains, rivers and trees, as well as an all-encompassing combination of things created by human beings such as buildings, roads and vehicles. However, in the virtual world, everything is about data, and data is everything. One must be sure about one key question before replicating the real world with AES: what is AES?AES is the digital expression of everything in the world. Although it is composed of virtual data, it can express the hyper realistic world. Simply put, it presents everything in the physical world into the virtual world, and the degrees of restored accuracy are classified into L1-L5, namely city-level L1, regional-level L2, scene-level L3, component-level L4, part-level L5. So, what capabilities does AES have? How can it replicate the real world?Since it is a "replica", all data are from the real world. Based on its multi-source data compatibility, AES can access and process data from GIS, OSGB, DOM / DEM, BIM, CAD and so on. All physical elements from the real world, such as terrain, buildings, roads, and waters, can be dynamically adjusted by AES, to reconstruct everything in the virtual world.The first and foremost capability of a digital twin scene is to gather and manage all the elements in the real physical world with colossal data and super-efficient dynamic loading, as well as to provide an interactive operating system through real-time rendering, thus generating a dynamic virtual world that is no different from the real one.This ability to construct fully simulated 3D dynamic scenes consists of the following eight basic capabilities:· Automated generation based on DOM and GIS data: AI algorithms can automatically generate urban scenes from DOM and GIS data.· Reconstruction and generation based on OSGB data: Computer semantic recognition algorithm can automatically lightweight reconstruct based on oblique photography / lidar scanning,· Automated generation based on BIM data: Automated transformation and generation based on BIM models, while retaining the catalogs and attributes of all components and parts· Procedural generation of specific scenes: Rapid generation of specific scenes based on procedural algorithms, such as transmission stations and power grids· HD map-based generation: Generation of high-precision road scenes based on the reconstruction of point cloud models of HD map· Construction based on massive digital asset library: Rapidly build scenes based on matching the features from massive digital asset library· Reconstruction and generation based on photo topology: 3D topology reconstruction and generation model based on real photos· Rapid construction based on PaaS platform: Secondary editing of scenes based on PaaS platform.02 Five Levels to Accurately Restore the Required ScenesAES can be divided into five levels, according to the different needs from macro to micro, with the higher level indicating a higher degree of visual, geographical and physical accuracy.1. City levelThe primary city-level simulated scenes, based on GIS data, are mainly used to restore large-scale pictures such as the topography, mountains, lakes and urban layouts. The coordinate accuracy is within 5 meters, and large-scale scenes of tens of thousands of square kilometers can be restored.2. Regional levelThe intermediate regional-level simulated scenes can restore urban buildings, road information, traffic flow, and green plants in a more detailed way than the city-level scenes. The coordinate accuracy is within 5 meters, and it can restore large-scale scenes of thousands of square kilometers.3. Scene levelAs the most commonly applied scenes at current stage, the L3 simulated scenes can truthfully restore building details, dynamic traffic flows, and even the shades of light and shadow through data of GIS and satellite remote sensing. The coordinate accuracy is within one meter, which can restore medium-sized scenes of hundreds of square kilometers.4. Component levelThe super simulation scene, with a coordinate accuracy to the level of centimeter, can restore the centimeter details of road markings, traffic lights, vehicles and pedestrians in the city. It can be employed to construct small street scenes within one square kilometer.5. Part levelThis level of simulation can be called the real all-element simulation, in which people couldn’t tell the virtual from the real even when close-ups. With a more accurate restoration effect, even the textures of flowers and trees, and the shades of real-time lighting can be fully synchronized with those in the real world, which can be used to dynamically drive twin device model components with real-time data.03 Technical Capabilities Highlight Through Actual ApplicationsWhat are the application scenarios of AES L1-15?51WORLD divides the applications of AES into five stages: W1 visualization, W2 data fusion, W3 data-driven, W4 simulation, and W5 intelligent decision-making. After years of technical trials and practical applications, 51WORLD has successfully implemented use cases in each stage according to different requirements.We will elaborate the advantages of W1-W5 applications one by one with specific cases.1. VisualizationHigh-quality 3D scene can be generated with AES through real-time rendering, which can lend the users a sense of reality with realistic scenes. A wide range of applications can be categorized into this stage, including those in the metaverse scene, such as annual corporate party, meetings, interviews, etc. 2. Data FusionData fusion perfectly meets the demands of government and enterprise users, as they can converge and present a variety of data in a unified spatio-temporal model. These applications provide operators with quick and effective managing skills, which help to administer the city or park in one scene.3. Data-drivenAt this stage, the AES can turn static into dynamic, which can keep the virtual world in sync with the real one. For example, in a smart traffic scenario, the real-time changes of the traffic flow need to be dynamically synchronized in the digital twin scene, to achieve “what you see is what you get” for all elements.4. SimulationAt this stage, AES can accurately simulate the movement of objects in the real world, and even predict the changing tendencies. Simulation is widely used in scenarios of smart factories, smart ports, and smart subway to optimize operations.5.Intelligent Decision-making Intelligent decision-making is mostly applied in autonomous driving simulation tests, which can train AI on the basis of simulated environments and colossal case library. Powerful data analysis makes it possible to predict the potential trends in the physical world when circumstances change in a simulated scenario, so as to avoid risks in the real world, thus making it more efficient, safe and better.The formulation of AES data and standards has laid the foundation for building a real and complete digital twin world, and provided the underlying technical support for 51WORLD’s vision of cloning the earth. Be it a high-precision rendering scene or a large-scale global landscape, the ultra-efficient dynamic loading technology and ultra-large-scale data access capabilities allow users to embark on a free journey of going deeper and higher. In the future, 51WORLD will continue to hone its AES and deliver effective digital twin applications with ecological partners, to facilitate the digital transformation of the government and enterprises, accelerating the development of the digital economy and contributing to building a digital China.

Professor Gao Yanli: Digital Twin Opens the Door of a Wonderful Era
Professor Gao Yanli: Digital Twin Opens the Door of a Wonderful Era
Editor’s note：With the rollout of state policies as well as the setup of national new areas such as Xiong’an, the digital twin has penetrated into all aspects of the smart city from the traditional manufacturing industry, greatly enriching people’s imagination of the future urban form.Meanwhile, we should fully understand the complexity of digital twin technology. Enterprises that underestimate the difficulties of implementing digital twin, being reluctant to invest in R&D and unwilling to seek industrial collaboration, are unlikely to succeed or go too far in the market.In this article, we are honored to invite Professor Gao Yanli, chief expert of a smart city at the CAICT, a scientific research institution directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), to catch a glimpse of this splendid digital twin world and envision the future direction of digital twin technology.Gao Yanli, chief expert of a smart city at the CAICTDigital twins can be regarded as the quintessence of the digital age. The straightforward and prevalent concept that combines the virtual and the real opens the door of intelligence, providing people with new insights into understanding and changing the world even without venturing out.Digital twin cities successfully address the two issues of smart city architecture integration and governance collaboration, pushing the construction of smart cities to new heights. However, we should be sober that digital twin technology is complex and the industry should not blindly follow the trend. We ought to be persistent in creating the hard-core products of digital twins, to be worthy of this exquisite, mysterious and wonderful digital twin era.01 The digital twin revolutionizes the worldThe digital twin is prevailing in various industries. It has been a buzzword in the last two or three years at home and abroad, with a stunning number of studies and researches. The concept has been identified by many institutions as one of the top strategic technology trends that affect the world.National ministries such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Science and Technology, rolled out policies and supporting programs to promote the basic research and applications of digital twins in the industrial and urban fields. Local governments are scrambling to build the first digital twin city while the industry is racing to come up with the latest digital twin solutions in order to take the lead in this cutting-edge technology.The digital twin has permeated the society in fields of the government, industries, factories, and cities. It has become the law of digital development about which everyone is talking about. That’s why the industries, capitals, and policies are rushing into this technology.Digital twins are indeed popular now.Conceptually, the digital twin reaches a wide range of audiences in only a couple of years as the buzzword is vivid and straightforward. Technologically, the ever-changing information technologies have made most people deeply convinced in the vision of digital twins. From single-point applications to integrated innovations, the digital twin is the milestone in China’s information-oriented development, and it may be the starting point of humans striding into the intelligent era. Exciting roads await.In terms of values, as China is reforming its administrative system, constructing a city of digital twin will reshape the urban digital genes and modernize the governance system. The digital twin redefines intelligent industrial parks, creating a new model of multi-dimensional performance management while the digital twin factories provide the best solutions for digitalizing the whole procedure of manufacturing including design, production, and assembling. As for the digital twin of the human body, it is opening up a new world of medical services with its unique perspective.Digital twin transforms the world. As the ancient Chinese Sage Lao Tse once stated that all things under heaven sprung from the existed and the existed sprung from the non-existed, the digital twin exemplifies the relationship of the existed and the non-existed in virtualizing the real world.The ubiquitous perception and integration, the interaction between the virtual and the real, they support and complement each other. The digital twin enables accurate mapping and perceptive insights even without venturing outside. In controlling the moving with the static and manipulating the real with the virtual, digital twin maps out influential strategies based on the intangible.Digital twin changes the industry rules, optimizes the development path and remodels operation, providing new ideas, perspectives and methods for various industries. It greatly shortens the development path of the industry and triggers profound technological changes in the industry’s systems, mechanisms, structures and rules. In digitalizing everything from macro to micro, a digital twin is pivotal in revolutionizing the world.02 Digital twin reshapes the governance systemThough significant progress has been made in the system cloud and data sharing, smart city construction still hits two bottlenecks, one in technology integration and the other in governance collaboration. Most intelligent city construction is still in its infancy of industrial information building, for want of technical and business architectures for the integrated urban governance. Hardware and software infrastructure, data, algorithms, technical capabilities, toolsets, and block applications are difficult to be incorporated into one architecture, to form a scalable functional system for further iteration. A vacuum exists in discrete, ineffective and inefficient managing systems. It is a daunting task to synchronize the management of different regions, lines and blocks.Digital twin reconstructs the overall architecture of smart cities. In terms of technologies, the digital twin city model platform incorporates the underlying infrastructure, static and dynamic data, core system and technical capability, applications and supporting system, achieving collaborative governance and the integration of the real and the virtual. The underlying infrastructure, consisting of traditional information infrastructure and the new infrastructure, reshapes the urban digital genes and creates an intelligent operating environment with its powerful abilities to perceive, transmit, compute and control.Therefore, the advent of digital twin cities provides an opportunity for and chart the course of reconstructing the overall architecture of a smart city and specifies the levels and paths of integration. By establishing a collaborative platform of the urban brain, the digital twin city connects the systems of urban management, ecological governance, traffic control, market supervision, emergency response, public security, etc.Driven by major events and special scenarios, based on the digital twin city model platform and equipped with its integrated data, algorithms and tools, the digital twin city is able to formulate a closed-loop procedure of proactive awareness, preemptive governance, and optimized plan, realizing coordinated management of urban governance.Digital twin virtualizes public services. Typical features such as global vision, accurate mapping, simulation, virtual-real interaction and intelligent intervention of digital twin cities are accelerating the innovation of urban governance and services, bringing about a number of super applications with a global perspective.As the representative scenarios of digital twin cities lie mostly in urban governance, such as planning, constructing, ecosystem, market and traffic, the unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 expedites the digitalization of the whole society and speeds up the implementation of virtualized public services. Digitalized contactless post-Internet life experiences such as online education, medical treatment and cultural performances greatly enrich the life of the public and give the citizens more choices. In the future, the urban form will lean towards digital aggregation and physical separation.The digital twin is devoted to improving modern governance. The COVID-19 pandemic exposes serious deficiencies in the global governance system such as the incapable emergency response mechanism, inadequate disease control plans, inaccurate information release, lagging public opinion guidance, inadequate resource allocation and insufficient decision-making ability. Although smart cities have played a significant role in containing the epidemic, the problems of unscheduled resources, unanalyzed data, unorganized manpower and inefficient network persist. Cooperative citizens and responsible local governments have become the backbone of China’s fighting against the epidemic.As Lao Tse pointed out that action should be taken before a thing has made its appearance and order should be secured before disorder has begun, the all-element expression, visualization of multidimensional data and scenes, spatial computing, overlaying analysis, simulation and remote control of the digital twin city as well as the derived abilities to identify urban risks, observing city operation, tracking trajectory, controlling events, deducing, simulating emergency plans and allocating resources, echo with the demands of modern governance in innovation, coordination, prevention, supervision and organization, making it a major booster for improving the governance system.The wave of new infrastructure is accelerating the development of digital twin cities. Previously, the precise mapping and virtual-real interaction of a digital twin city were largely dependent on the IoT, and as China’s new infrastructure unfolds, it has expanded to assimilate all the components of the new infrastructure, including 5G, IoT, edge computing, data centers, as well as the intelligent transformation of municipal facilities, industrial equipment and public services.By means of intensive spatial layout, the city will form a new overall structure of ubiquitous identifying, perceiving, connecting and computing, to intelligently define everything. It will unleash the operations and services of the infrastructure for the public, enabling the digital transformation of all walks of life.The massive construction of the new infrastructure will greatly lower the cost of building a digital twin city and strongly support the simultaneous operation of the virtual and the real, thus speeding up the construction of the digital twin city.03 The journey of digital twins: a long way to goTo implement a digital twin is more complex than imagined. Enormous basic theories need to be deeply studied, the huge number of technical solutions need to be explored, massive application scenarios need to be verified and colossal mechanisms need to break through before a digital twin really accomplishes precise mapping, twin parallel and the virtual serving the real, be it a factory, a city or a human body.The digital twin is a tremendous project of intellectual integration of knowledge, technologies, data, algorithms, tools and applications, thereby needing a powerful supporting industrial ecology.For creating a digital twin city, depicting the appearance is one thing, while accurately expressing the city’s content, personality, characteristics and rules with technical means such as models, data, algorithms and tools, is another. In the underlying new infrastructure, the lack of reasonable plans and specifications for the intensive layout of urban space, the invisible social relationships between urban elements and the uncertainty of operating rules are all insurmountable obstacles for digital twin cities.Some domestic enterprises are more inclined to earn fast money. They churn out low-quality products, invest little on R&D and are reluctant to go deep into technological innovation. Some ride the tide of digital twins after the concept has been popularized.Instead of actively exploring the technology, they labeled the existing products as digital twins and introduced them into the market, seriously disrupting the industry and confusing public understanding. Given the complexity of digital twins, enterprises that underestimate the difficulties of implementing digital twin, being reluctant to invest in R&D and unwilling to seek industrial collaboration, are unlikely to succeed or go too far in the market.Currently, it is pressing to construct the digital twin cities while the technical solutions are far from mature. Although some encouraging progress has been made in visualizing city modeling, there is still a long way to go. Therefore, in order to promote the implementation of digital twin cities, on the one hand, the government should actively unleash the data and related resources to pave the way for piloting digital twin cities. On the other hand, the mechanisms should be integrated to establish adaptive organizational and business structures.The industry should actively build a complementarily cooperative ecology, to consistently verify the implementation of the solutions. Scientific research institutions should lead their way in innovation and strengthen relevant visionary basic research, removing the obstacles for governments and industries in implementing the digital twin cities.Never forget why you started, and you can accomplish your mission. Like every revolutionary technology, digital twin cities were questioned at the very beginning. People worried that in the gigantic network of a digital twin city, the city’s activities would all be under surveillance. It will be like a digital prison in which the citizens lose privacy and their actions are monitored. The concern is not without reason. For brutal managers, a digital twin city might be a disaster for the people but for the righteous ones, a digital twin city will increase the well-being of the people.Powerful technical means make the city smarter, more harmonious and efficient and the service more diverse, convenient, proactive and personalized. The management of the intelligent city is shifting from governance to services. In constructing a digital twin city, only by elevating the well-being of the people can it go far and steadily in the future.Digital twins open the door of understanding and changing the world, pushing digitalization and intelligent transformation to an admirable height. It might be substituted by more advanced technology later, but fortunately, the new wonderful era has just begun. Let us embrace it and create a bright future together!
