- Japan's MLIT announces its first international roundtable on building and urban DX
- Focuses on urban digital twins and related topics, exchanging views with other countries
- Signals Japan pushing its urban-DX standards and experience toward international cooperation
For those watching smart cities and proptech: Japan's MLIT will hold its first international roundtable on building and urban DX, centered on urban digital twins, exchanging views with other nations. A digital twin turns a whole city's buildings, terrain and infrastructure into a computable model for disaster simulation, urban planning and energy management. Hosting the roundtable signals Japan bringing its urban-DX standards and cases to the cooperation table, useful for proptech, BIM and smart-city vendors gauging Japan's market direction.
(Translated from the MLIT press release.) Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced it will hold its first international roundtable on the DX of buildings and cities, exchanging views with other countries on initiatives such as urban digital twins.
