Dodoma City Digital Twin

The Challenge

What the Client Needed

Dodoma — Tanzania's rapidly growing capital — was being planned and managed without adequate spatial data or a unified view of urban systems. City planners lacked tools to simulate growth scenarios, infrastructure teams had no real-time visibility of critical assets, and citizen services were reactive rather than anticipatory.

Our Solution

How TANGIS Delivered

TANGIS captured a city-wide photogrammetric model of Dodoma using fixed-wing UAV surveys, modeled 120,000+ buildings at LOD2, integrated 340 IoT sensors (traffic, environment, utilities), and built a city operations dashboard enabling the City Council to monitor and manage urban systems in real time.

Deliverables

City-wide aerial photogrammetric capture (2,669 km²)
LOD2 3D city model (120,000+ buildings)
Urban utility network mapping
IoT sensor network (340 sensors)
City operations dashboard (web)
Urban scenario simulation capability
City Council training & handover

Outcomes & Impact

Results Delivered

1

Tanzania's first operational city digital twin, now used daily by City Council planning and operations teams

2

Traffic congestion modeling prevented a planned road intervention that simulations showed would increase gridlock

3

Flooding risk identified for 340 buildings in a planned development zone — preventing construction in a known flood pathway

4

Utility maintenance response times reduced by 35% through real-time sensor alerts
