The immersive, data-driven solution will redefine urban planning surrounding local city challenges, infrastructure development and sensor visualization
PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Peachtree Corners – one of the nation’s first smart cities powered by real-world connected infrastructure and 5G – today announced a collaboration with BizzTech, the leading provider of immersive, AI‑driven Metaverse platforms, to deploy a photorealistic digital twin of the downtown that will accelerate data‑driven decision‑making, boost public safety and cut planning costs. The collaboration combines live sensor feeds, traffic analytics, weather data and AI to create an always‑on, interactive replica of the City of Peachtree Corners downtown.
With the ability to turn physical environments into intelligent, interactive and photorealistic ecosystems, BizzTech will continue to support Peachtree Corners and Curiosity Lab’s initiative to leverage smart city innovation and expansion through this unique and interactive model that advances efficiency. The City of Peachtree Corners will leverage this technology to rehearse incident response protocols, optimize traffic light timing and model the planned expansion of autonomous vehicle corridors before ever breaking ground on a project.
“Our collaboration with BizzTech brings us a level of real-time insight we simply couldn’t achieve with static planning tools and is a testament to our continuous commitment as a smart‑city leader to enhance city management,” said Brandon Branham, Assistant City Manager and CTO of the City of Peachtree Corners. “By overlaying these live data streams onto a photorealistic digital twin, we can test infrastructure development ideas, changes in urban mobility and even incident response protocols in minutes. That means we can spot safety risks sooner, deploy resources faster and model incident response routes to keep our public safety teams safe.”
At the core of BizzTech’s technology solution are AI-powered digital twins that combine generative AI and agentic AI to not only simulate but also autonomously adapt and respond to various scenarios, enhancing user interaction and decision-making. The platform’s predictive analytics alert city personnel to potential bottlenecks and safety hazards before they escalate, supporting proactive maintenance, optimized traffic flow and lower operational costs. This initiative serves as a scalable model for other municipalities, showcasing how immersive digital twins can revolutionize smart city planning and operations worldwide.
“BizzTech’s Urban Metaverse is purpose‑built to take the guesswork out of city management,” said Dirk Schmidt, CEO of BizzTech. “Our AI agents continuously learn from each simulation, recommending the most efficient traffic‑signal cycles and optimal locations for future public‑safety assets. Together with Peachtree Corners, we’re turning predictive insights into day‑one cost savings, stronger public trust and a scalable blueprint for other cities to replicate.”
