The Digital Twin of Moscow
The city’s Digital Twin is a unique platform that helps the Moscow Government plan the construction of residential, industrial, and public facilities, make management decisions, and monitor the progress of key urban projects. The Digital Twin of Moscow is based on a photogrammetric model (a precise virtual 3D replica of the city), with all utility and transport networks mapped onto it. It is supplemented by analytical layers containing data on all key areas of urban life, which are updated in real time, as well as an archive of panoramic views of the capital dating back to 2013.
Cultural Heritage Sites
The city’s Digital Twin helps preserve the capital’s cultural legacy. Urban planning tools can be used to examine future construction in detail and ensure that it does not disrupt the city’s architectural harmony or obstruct the capital’s iconic views. Detailed digital copies of buildings and areas help preserve their current appearance for years and even centuries to come. These tools help plan the restoration of cultural heritage sites, carefully recreating the finest historical details. Creating high-poly 3D models of buildings, such as the Grachevka Estate, the Pushkin Museum, and the Simonov Monastery, enables realistic visualization of architectural details, facade textures, and landscaping elements.
The Trinity platform has been designed to enhance transparency, standardize pricing, and digitalize the process for the removal and disposal of construction and demolition waste (CDW). It brings together all stakeholders—developers, waste haulers, and recycling facilities—on a single online platform.
The MosTech Unified Technology Platform is a modern ecosystem of in-house services for software development, IT system maintenance and support, and data center solutions, as well as a comprehensive suite of tools for Moscow Government employees.
ICT.Moscow
Moscow has introduced a catalogue of 111 smart city initiatives. These include the city’s Digital Twin, the MosTech technology platform, and AI-powered solutions, among other projects. The digital portal ICT.Moscow served as the technology partner.
The Artificial Intelligence Center for Urban Development was established in 2024 to address complex challenges in Moscow’s construction sector using cutting-edge technologies. Its core goal is to streamline operational processes and shorten project timelines. The Center develops and implements AI solutions, including digital document analysis, automated design, and construction monitoring. In collaboration with ITMO University, it conducts research and develops algorithms for real-world application. The number of solutions developed grew from 5 in 2024 to 14 in 2025. The Center is also launching pilot projects in the regions, focusing on regulatory compliance monitoring, the analysis and verification of BIMs, automated unit mix and layout generation, and the automation of document preparation. Additionally, the Center plays an active role in shaping the regulatory framework and is advancing the development of “strong AI” in collaboration with leading educational institutions.
