La plateforme DigiCity - règlements, instruction et participation dans un même jumeau numérique.

Our digital twin

Tomorrow’s city is planned today.

DigiCity is a first-of-its-kind digital twin for urban planning. Designed by urban planners and co-created with cities, it takes planning to the next level.

Our platform turns planning regulations into interactive 3D models, so everyone can understand the city.

Advanced technology. An open approach. Urban planning that finally meets tomorrow’s challenges.

3D model and digital twin

The 3D model is the foundation.
The digital twin is the value.

The 3D model

Your area’s buildings and terrain in 3D, built from open data. A ready-to-use base for preliminary studies, analysis and project visuals.

The digital twin

The same model, linked to planning rules and the local authority’s data. It becomes a working tool: check the rules, run planning compliance checks, involve residents.

Our vision

A digital twin for confident planning

One platform covers the whole urban planning project process:

Trois fonctions du jumeau numérique DigiCity : 1. Consulter les règles d'urbanisme en 3D, à l'échelle de la parcelle ; 2. Pré-instruire les projets de permis de construire ; 3. Faire participer les habitants en ligne.

Domain expertise

Chloé Haentjens | CEO and co-founder

After ten years designing complex urban projects around the world at Foster + Partners, AECOM and SoomeenHahm Design, I founded DigiCity on one conviction: digital tools should serve the people who shape cities, not the other way round.

My expertise: bringing together regulatory planning, 3D modelling and spatial data intelligence.

What you will do

  • Structure local planning rules (PLU, PLUi) for the regulatory engine.
  • Turn these rules into 3D volumes using algorithmic methods.
  • Support local authorities: needs, onboarding, user feedback.
  • Integrate the land registry and regulatory layers, and check their quality.

About you

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in urban planning, spatial planning, GIS or architecture.
