Leipzig expands its geodata infrastructure, running since 2012, into an Urban Data Platform and digital twin under Connected Urban Twins, a federally funded programme with Hamburg and Munich (2021–2025, ~EUR32.4M). Sensor-data feeds moved from prototype to production in early 2026; the platform continues as city infrastructure past the grant.
