Digital Twin Technology in Governance: A Paradigm Shift for Public Administration

Abstract

Digital Twin technology, which creates virtual replicas of physical systems, offers unprecedented opportunities for governance and urban planning. This research evaluates the application of digital twins in monitoring infrastructure, simulating policy impacts, and optimizing resource allocation. Case studies from sectors like healthcare, transportation, and environmental management illustrate the technology’s transformative potential. The paper also addresses implementation challenges, such as data integration and scalability, while proposing a governance framework to harness digital twins effectively for public benefit.
