CITYlayers
All your urban data at a click.
Part of the TOOLS4CITIES suite, this browser-based tool visualizes a digital twin of a city, across multiple domains of data and allows sustainability-related simulations to be run at a click of the mouse.

City scale scenarios
Data Domains
Select the data you are interested in, from buildings to transport, energy to waste, trees to air quality, and overlay them spatially to see correlations & connections.
Uses available public data from multiple sources and new datasets are regularly added.
Services
Access to simulation services is quick and easy - choose the one you need, then click directly into the area of the city you wish to run the simulation on. This could be a single building, a neighbourhood, or even the entire city. Simulations run on our powerful remote servers and the results returned to you in a few minutes, presented in clear user-friendly reports.
Transportation
We employ traffic flow simulations to allow energy and emission-based scenarios to be run across different areas of the entire transport network and also across different modes of transportation.
