BMC incorporates 3D mapping of Mumbai

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which generated a 3D map of Worli in September to aid in infrastructure planning and development, has now begun the process of developing a digital model of the entire city. This 3D model, dubbed the digital twin of Mumbai, will include detailed information about roads, bridges, flyovers, underpasses, and tunnels, buildings, modes of transportation, gardens and open spaces, water bodies, all civic amenities, street lights, traffic signals, trees, landscape, airports, and slums. Once completed, this will aid in urban planning for development and infrastructure projects, disaster management, environmental analysis, building classification, and amenity assessment. It will aid in the visualisation of the city in 3D with 360-degree views, allowing simulations to generate effect areas and full data analysis.
