Cities are multidimensional networks based on physical and ethereal flows. It is urgent to transform the common currency of flows from from atoms to bits, but like other complex systems are almost invisible to our inquiries - see current EPB editorial. https://t.co/5b4AAHXCcT

Didn’t realise my Perspective paper in Nature Comp Sci on ‘Digital Twins in City Planning’ https://t.co/9FvNf19VXf is part of a special issue on DTs. Great resource. Lot of food for thought about the nature of what a DT is and isn't. https://t.co/nbsG5Xpe5r
