Test every plan on your city first
Samo brings interactive urban planning to the Middle East. Traffic, land use, air quality and climate sit in one digital twin of your city, so you see what a policy does while everyone is still in the room.
See tomorrow's city today
Cities across the region are adding districts, metro lines and whole new towns at a pace the old planning cycle cannot follow. A traffic study takes months, and by the time it lands the question has changed.
Just like the spreadsheet let finance teams ask "what if" without waiting for the accountants, a digital twin lets planners ask it of a whole city. You assess the policy interactively, in a digital environment, before a single road is closed.
Planning by PDF is too slow for this region.
Balance mobility with livability
Accessible, healthy and safe neighbourhoods pull in different directions. Open a road and the noise goes up. Close it and the traffic moves next door. Change the intervention and watch congestion, noise and air quality respond together.
Decide where to build and how people get there
Where do you build, and how do people still get to work? Every new development puts pressure on the roads and the living environment around it.
Compare sets of policies side by side and find the one that moves trips to walking, cycling and public transport while greenhouse gas emissions come down.
Plan electric mobility and the grid together
Electrification ties the transport system to the energy system. A bus depot used to be a parking question and today it is a substation question, which is why we model both in the same twin.
Singapore is replacing a fleet of 6,000 buses with zero emission vehicles, and planned the deployment this way.
Prepare your infrastructure for heat, floods and renewal
Roadworks, ageing bridges and extreme weather all land on the same network. See which closures the city can absorb and which ones it cannot, before the diversion signs go up.
Built on independent scientific research
The models behind the platform come out of years of independent scientific research in the Netherlands, a country that plans every square metre, and they are in daily use in cities such as Amsterdam.
We bring them to the Middle East with regional data, a local team and support in your time zone. You can inspect every model.
See it on your own city
Send us the district, corridor or masterplan you are working on. We will show you what it looks like as a digital twin.
