OpenCities provides a complete solution for city-wide digital twin management, allowing users to develop highly detailed virtual representations of urban environments. Built on Bentley’s advanced visualization technology, OpenCities combines spatial data integration with cloud-based collaboration to support every phase of urban development.
The software enables users to manage diverse asset portfolios, simulate “what-if” scenarios for new infrastructure, and provide transparent access to city information for citizens. By connecting engineering data with real-world context, OpenCities improves visibility across municipal departments and supports better long-term planning. Using OpenCities, teams can work more efficiently while ensuring that city growth is sustainable, resilient, and aligned with community needs.
OpenCities supports a wide range of municipal and large-scale infrastructure projects across the urban landscape. Key applications include:
City-scale digital twin creation and 3D visualization
Urban planning and zoning impact simulations
Public engagement and community consultation via interactive web portals
Municipal asset management and infrastructure health monitoring
Smart city data integration (IoT sensors and real-time feeds)
Disaster response and resilience planning for urban environments
Integration of reality modeling (drone/satellite) with architectural designs
Environmental and sustainability analysis for carbon-neutral city goals
These capabilities allow city leaders and engineers to manage urban growth more effectively, leading to smarter, more liveable, and better-coordinated cities.
