Green Urban Infrastructure Spend to Reach US$978 Billion in 2030 as Cities Attempt to Mitigate Climate Change Impacts
"The single most important benefit of green urban infrastructure is its role in making cities more resilient. Resilient against the impact of climate change in terms of mitigating the effects of flooding, heat islands, drought, and other natural disasters on urban living," says Dominique Bonte , VP End Markets and Verticals at ABI Research. "Green infrastructure offers the combined advantage of functioning as natural reservoirs for excess stormwater and excessive heat due to its innate water absorption and heat storage capabilities. Both substantially reduce flooding of vulnerable inhabited areas and the number and severity of heat islands."
However, green urban infrastructure offers many additional benefits:
From a technology perspective, digital twins are the ultimate tool for city governments and developers to design, model, plan, simulate, and manage green urban infrastructure. Detailed information about trees and other green assets can be captured through ground-based and airborne LiDAR sensor scanning systems often complemented by satellite imagery. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based recognition capabilities allow building complex models featuring various metrics, including predictive data about expected tree lifetimes.
Digital twin modeling and simulation use cases include the identification of current and future heat islands, the assessment of vulnerable populations, the percentage of permeable surface and vegetation levels, the water retention potential of green rooftops, detailed tree analytics, and water run-off and carbon storage metrics.
Urban digital twin solutions are offered by vendors like Siradel (Engie) and Dassault Systèmes. Singapore -based Greehill develops digital twin technology exclusively optimized for green infrastructure.
These findings are from ABI Research's Green Urban Infrastructure report. This report is part of the company's Smart Urban Infrastructure research service, which includes research, data, and analyst insights.
