Civic Twin
01 · Problem

What needed solving

Councils manage cities on spreadsheets and legacy GIS. Cross-department questions - hazards, planning, public-realm assets - take weeks to answer.

02 · Approach

How we're building it

A shared civic canvas: council asset registers, planning applications, ward boundaries and live hazard feeds unified into a single navigable twin. Officers query it in natural language.
