Urban Digital Twins (UDTs) are an established tool in urban and spatial planning, used to create data-driven representations of complex urban systems, visualize interactions, and make decision-making processes more informed and efficient. However, when developing and designing a specific digital twin, many considerations must be taken into account, such as data sources, modeling, reuse, and interoperability. Using two examples from Speyer and Leipzig, we will identify current problems and challenges, but also present practical solutions. Above all, however, these inputs are intended to serve as a basis for in-depth discussions of individual topics. This initiative is part of the current funding program of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (BMFTR) aimed at accelerating planning for climate adaptation. https://www.fona.de/de/massnahmen/foerdermassnahmen/planungsbeschleunigung-fuer-die-klimaanpassung.php
