UrbanEngine® Builds digital twins that help architects, urban planners, municipalities, and investors make faster and better spatial decisions — from concept to operations.
Our core
Technology for spatial decision-making
Built to Run in Parallel
UrbanEngine operates alongside every phase of development — not after it. From vision to delivery, the model evolves with the project.
Built to interact
Not just visuals — our models are decision tools, not slideshows. They function as practical tools to support analysis and informed choices
Faster, Sharper Decisions
By simulating scenarios and impacts in real-time, we reduce meetings, avoid misalignment, and move faster through approvals.
Scalable by design
From single plots to city districts, our models scale with your ambition — built to reflect the real world in high visual fidelity during every phase
Use case
Digital twins applied to real-world challenges
Real-Time Design Decisions
Explore design alternatives instantly and decide with clarity.
Simulate Urban Life
Experience design in motion — across lighting, weather, and public activity.
Mobility & infrastructure planning
Understand traffic, bike and pedestrian flows.
Environmental Insight
Simulate sunlight and shading to guide massing and spatial decisions early.
Results that reshape the process
Reduction in approval timeline
By visualizing spatial scenarios early, we cut months from the permit process.
60% Reduction in approval timeline
less design revision cycles
Real-time collaboration surfaces conflicts before they become costly rework.
85% less design revision cycles
faster planning-to-permit
From first sketch to submission ready package in half the time — without shortcuts.
50% faster planning-to-permit
Clients
"Tijdens de participatieavond over het concept Projectkader Hugo hielp de Digital Twin om het plan inzichtelijk te maken. Realtime beelden maakten het abstracte verhaal concreter en zorgden voor meer betrokkenheid bij de aanwezigen."
Annemarie Totté
Projectmanager – Eindhoven, project HUGO/Koelhuis District
“Digital twins have great potential for local and/or regional economic development by providing insight into complex issues and enabling scenario-based planning.”
Tom Bakkers
Ontwikkelaar – Bakkers|Hommen
“Digital twins can help visualize and calculate what is cost-effectively possible to make cities greener and more resilient.”
Wilke Diekema
Landschapsarchitect – Studio Diekema, project Ruimtekwartier Utrecht Maarssen
“In the Citiverse, it will be possible to calculate the effects of plans in real-time and visualize them through holographic tables for resident participation, augmented reality at construction sites, and 3D city models.”
Arnold van de Water
Creative strategist – Concrete Culture
Why Urban Engine
We build tools for better decisions
By offering unlimited perspectives on the built environment, our digital twins go beyond visualizations—revealing risks and opportunities before they become reality.
