Cities are multidimensional networks based on physical and ethereal flows. It is urgent to transform the common currency of flows from from atoms to bits, but like other complex systems are almost invisible to our inquiries - see current EPB editorial. https://t.co/5b4AAHXCcT

Our edited book Urban Informatics (free download Springer https://t.co/Zf6vKItn1p) has been translated into Chinese. Get it here https://t.co/hpxjtOUOfP. The world turned upside down – English edition free, Chinese quite cheap but not free as far as I can tell !

Didn’t realise my Perspective paper in Nature Comp Sci on ‘Digital Twins in City Planning’ https://t.co/9FvNf19VXf is part of a special issue on DTs. Great resource. Lot of food for thought about the nature of what a DT is and isn't. https://t.co/nbsG5Xpe5r

Never know the protocols for posting papers but if submitting to a Nature journal, it suggests you post the preprint to Research Square. Anyway here is our paper A Large Scale Digital Twin for British Cities on Research Square https://t.co/0cHf7kDaV9
