While the development of 3D city models is progressing, many may be facing practical hurdles in system development and data utilization, which form the foundation of 'Project PLATEAU,' promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). This digital twin initiative aims to recreate real cities in a digital space.

This webinar will focus on the latest information about 'PLATEAU' from MLIT, introducing how digital twins can solve challenges faced by local governments with case examples.

We will deliver practical learning from two perspectives: lectures by ministries and local governments challenging to pioneer new ways of 'regional management,' and professional development environments.

Please take this opportunity to join us.
