The Clearest Picture
Building a sovereign Digital Twin for a city that moves $4.7tn a day
The City of London is one square mile that generates £110bn a year, moves $4.7tn in daily foreign exchange, and contains 877 listed buildings, bridges and heritage sites, with one Government Authority responsible for every one of them, and no unified digital picture of any of it.
Richard is the Enterprise Architect building that picture. This talk sets out what a sovereign digital twin actually is, why it is an operational architecture rather than a map, and why ownership of the twin matters as much as the technology inside it.
