MIRA Ditigal Twin Platform(MIRA)

MIRA is a comprehensive Digital Twin platform designed to enable cities to build virtual replicas of their urban environments using real-time data from sensors, open sources, and third-party tools. This modeling capability functions at various scales—from neighborhoods to regions—allowing planners to identify urban risks, monitor inefficiencies, and predict behavioral changes. By simulating diverse scenarios, such as infrastructure upgrades or specific climate actions, MIRA empowers decision-makers to optimize urban systems and policies effectively.

Within the scope of the UP2030 project, MIRA advances beyond traditional simulation by integrating critical sectors such as energy systems renovation, photovoltaic (PV) installations, mobility, and energy storage. The tool features intuitive dashboards that visualize urban areas, predict future energy demand, and assess potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions. Additionally, MIRA serves as a central hub for the project’s digital twin bundle, aggregating and displaying data and insights from other connected tools to provide a unified view of urban services.

The platform is a key enabler for cities targeting carbon neutrality and a "Just Transition." It supports climate-forward planning by facilitating smarter mobility management, integrated service visualization, and the analysis of decarbonization strategies. By democratizing access to open data and reducing technical barriers, MIRA fosters inclusive digital transformation, allowing diverse stakeholders to engage with complex datasets and collaborate on cross-sectoral urban planning solutions.
