Weiming Xie\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When the Chinese government announced Xiong\u2019an in Hebei province in 2017 as a new city to ease pressure on Beijing, the local property market surged almost overnight. Buyers flooded into the semi-rural wetlands and smallhold farms 100 kilometres southwest of the capital, pushing prices up by 400% within months and prompting swift government curbs on speculation.<\/p>\n<p>The frenzy was sparked by just eight Chinese characters: \u201cMillennium plan\u201d (<em>qian nian da ji<\/em>), described in the official announcement as \u201ca matter of historic national importance\u201d (<em>guo jia da shi<\/em>). At the time, the meaning behind the phrase was left deliberately vague.<\/p>\n<p>By 2018, official planning documents described Xiong\u2019an as \u201ca high-level socialist modern city.\u201d A year later, the state news agency Xinhua labeled it \u201ca city of the future.\u201d By the early 2020s, it had acquired a new identity: a \u201cdigital twin city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the first city to see its physical and digital versions developed in parallel, Xiong\u2019an is widely seen as China\u2019s flagship digital twin project. Since then, others, including Shanghai\u2019s Lingang district, have followed suit, building data-heavy digital models to simulate and test urban systems before real-world implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Applications span engineering, architecture, traffic management, and urban planning. Yet adoption within the real estate sector remains limited, raising questions about when digital twin technology will move into mainstream property use, both in China and globally.<\/p>\n<p>More than six years ago, digital twin cities were already a major talking point at industry conferences in China, says James Macdonald, head of research at Savills in Shanghai. But their impact on real estate has been modest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/en\/how-china-became-the-testing-ground-for-zaha-hadid-architects-boldest-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Related: How China became the testing ground for Zaha Hadid Architects\u2019 boldest ideas<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCities such as Xiong\u2019an are often cited as pilot projects, but practical applications are still evolving,\u201d he says. \u201cMost traction remains at the smart city or government level, rather than in day-to-day real estate development or investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the broader industry nearly doubling to USD3 billion between 2020 and 2025, real estate accounted for less than 3% of spending on digital twin technology, according to the China Business Industry Research Institute.<\/p>\n<p>At the policy level, however, adoption has been decisive. Digital twin technology was elevated to a national priority in 2021, and by late 2023, a government white paper outlined a future in which AI and digital twins converge to create \u201cself-adaptive\u201d or semi-autonomous cities.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, many cities in China and beyond have already laid the groundwork. Smart city systems now monitor utilities, traffic signals, and parking infrastructure, forming the building blocks of more advanced digital twin platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn that sense, places like Xiong\u2019an and Lingang are less outliers than indicators of where policy is heading,\u201d says David Tingxuan Zhang, a macroeconomics and policy analyst at Trivium China.<\/p>\n<p>The shift from smart systems to full digital twins is largely a matter of integration\u2014connecting disparate data streams into a unified control platform.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/en\/the-propertyguru-asia-property-awards-expand-in-2026-with-additional-categories-across-mainland-china-hong-kong-macau\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Related: The PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards expand in 2026 with additional categories across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmart cities have gained traction because there is real demand,\u201d Zhang adds. \u201cChina is moving away from expansion-led real estate growth towards urban renewal and retrofitting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where this leaves the property sector is less clear. The ongoing real estate downturn\u2014marked by developer defaults, restructuring, and tighter controls on speculation\u2014has dampened both private investment and confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Some major developers have begun incorporating elements of digital twin thinking into internal processes, particularly in design optimisation, cost management, and operations, Macdonald notes. \u201cBut adoption is far from widespread.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Artificial intelligence may prove to be the catalyst. As companies such as DeepSeek gain global traction and AI usage becomes embedded across Chinese society, the potential for digital twin applications is becoming more tangible.<\/p>\n<p>By December 2025, China had more than 600 million generative AI users, according to the World Internet Conference\u2014a rise of over 140% in just one year. Roughly one in two Chinese citizens now use AI regularly, compared to one in five globally.<\/p>\n<p>This rapid uptake suggests China could become a leading adopter of digital twin technology in real estate. For now, however, that shift remains hypothetical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDigital twin cities are increasingly discussed and piloted,\u201d says Macdonald. \u201cBut there is still a gap between concept and application\u2014though that gap may narrow as technology and regulation evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>T<\/em><em>his article was originally published on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiarealestatesummit.com\/newsroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asiarealestatesummit.com<\/a>.
