With Arjan Spruijt and Frank Del Gatto, we discuss how digital twins, data and interoperable standards can help make the planning process for housing development simpler, faster and easier to explain. What role do European, national, regional and local policies play, and how do we ensure that digital tools do not become more complex, but instead help us build future-ready homes together even faster.
