    POLITECNICO DI TORINO Master Degree - Civil Engineering Structures and Infrastructures Master’s degree Thesis URBAN-SCALE DIGITAL TWIN FOR A MASTER PLAN IN THE AREA ADJACENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OF CEBU'- PHILIPPINES Supervisor: Prof.ssa Anna Osello Correlator: Prof.ssa Francesca Ugliotti Ing. Giuliano Pairone Candidate: Daniele Iunti Academical year: 2020-2021 JULY 2021 The present research is the result of a multidisciplinary study that brings together the skills derived from the civil engineering and automotive engineering courses of study. Within this specific thesis paper analyses, reasoning, and results are presented, mainly in the civil engineering field of investigation, with specific insights into the automotive sector. Despite the multifaceted nature of the research, the result the team achieved after one year of intense study is unique and derives from the collaboration and integration of competences from the abovementioned different backgrounds. This aspect represented the most challenging part of the study but at the same time the most enriching one, making it really interesting. As far as automotive engineering parts, engineer students in charge of these aspects are Ma Fanshu and Zhang Zheyuan. A special thank is a must because of their limitless availability and skills, methodological rigour and passion for the work done. “There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.” ― Jane Jacobs (1958) Downtown is for people ABSTRACT La popolazione umana ha impiegato 200.000 anni per raggiungere 1 miliardo e solo 200 anni per raggiungere i 7 miliardi.

It has facilitated growth and development and at the same time created opportunities for the different sectors in our society. However, not everyone has the access or the skills for the available digital resources. With this socioeconomic disparity among the people, there is a definite call to accelerate digital inclusion through innovative solutions across all industries – the very purpose of the Summit. This year’s Digital Strategies for Development Summit (DSDS) aims to provide a platform for high level participants from policy makers, regulators telecentre operators and managers and NGOs, content and services developers and providers, public sector, industry, academia and regional/international development partners to foster dynamic and strategic discussions, sharing of information, real experiences and best practices on ICT innovation. DSDS 2015 will also have an exhibit of existing ICT solutions to address emerging challenges in promoting rural development with a special focus on youth, and women and SMEs relative to entrepreneurship and employment.
