• Digital => “Smart City”

• Engineering Enabled => Intelligent Infrastructure supports quality of life

• Collaborative => Open Data, Open Workflows

• Sustainable => in support of the full Life Cycle of the Infrastructure (Conceptual Design, Detailed Engineering, Construction, Operational phase, Refurbishment, Decommissioning)

• Urban Development => More people, higher life-quality demands (transportation, energy-efficiency, safety, cleaner environment) leads to more sophisticated Infrastructure

Smart City Information Model requires a Hybrid (data) Model

• Digital => “Smart City” => Digital Twin

• Construction MUST get automated and Construction Data MUST be retained for the Infrastructure Intelligence to be re-used during its lifetime

• City Intelligence requires realtime Big Data to be combined with Infrastructure knowledge, to take smart and dynamic decisions

• There is as much relevant Infrastructure Underground as there is Above the ground!
