What is CDT?

City Digital Twin is an interactive model of Catalunya. Housing, urban form, economics, mobility and research indicators are computed for every census section, so any place can be read, compared and understood at the scale the decision needs.

The analysis

Statistical rankings on key metrics

Fractality against betweenness for every census tract in Catalunya, the pair behind Urban Design. A municipal figure is an average of this spread, and the spread is where the decision lives.

Housing & Standard of Living

Key statistics, per parcel.

Area and land qualification come per parcel. Rent, price and score come from the section around it, and only the other 5,141 sections say whether those numbers are any good.
