Welcome to BIM Today December 2023, which explores everything from the rise of cyber-physical infrastructure and the role of digital twins in achieving net zero, to how construction technology can help to reduce the billions lost to error, improve management of key networks and even rebuild war-torn Ukraine<\/h2>\n

In BIM Today December 2023’s cover story, Dan Rossiter of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists explores the emerging concept of cyber-physical infrastructure, which looks to harness the UK\u2019s strengths in AI, digital twins and robotics to help create a more digital-led built environment.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include Paul Wilkinson of nima examining the acceleration of digital transformation in 2024, James Franklin of Kier Strategic Projects exploring the role of digital twins the race to net zero and the Institution of Engineering & Technology discussing ethics in AI.<\/p>\n

In addition, Dr Graham Kelly of BIM Academy makes the case for pushing construction\u2019s boundaries though technology, Cliff Smith of the Get It Right Initiative discusses how it can reduce costly errors across the sector and Yves Padrines of Nemetschek says digital tools have a key role to play in rebuilding Ukraine.<\/p>\n

We also look at the Women in BIM conference, which took place in London in November, and preview Futurebuild 2024.<\/p>\n

There is much more besides. Here\u2019s a selection of what\u2019s in BIM Today’s December 2023 edition:<\/p>\n
