TU Munich Certification Course “Digital Twins for Cities”
Apply now! Starting in February 2026: An interdisciplinary approach to digital city modeling (CityGML), digital planning and building (BIM), and applications for mobility, environment, and housing.
The Digital Twin of a city provides a virtual representation of buildings, streets, entire urban districts, and their environment. Enriched with a wide range of data from various sources, it becomes a valuable planning tool capable of delivering up-to-date information and forecasts at any time.
The certificate course at TU Munich takes a unique interdisciplinary approach, combining the fields of Digital Construction (BIM) and Digital City Modeling (CityGML) with innovative analysis and simulation methods for designing “smart” urban spaces with high quality of life. Through practical case studies from municipalities and metropolitan areas, you will gain valuable insights for your own implementation.
The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 20 and includes executives and project managers from the fields of urban planning, engineering and architecture firms, municipalities, surveying & geodesy, as well as business development in Smart City initiatives.
