About

CityPortraits is an open framework for building data-informed digital twins of cities, combining geospatial data, historical evidence, and rule-based modeling to reconstruct local urban patterns. It bridges the gap between quantitative datasets and qualitative urban knowledge, enabling the generation of interpretable and testable scenarios of building stock evolution.

Collaboration

CityPortraits is an open and evolving project built through collaboration.
We bring together spatial data, architectural knowledge, and computational methods — and welcome contributors who want to shape how urban patterns are documented and understood.
