Urva Patel's 2025 Auckland University of Technology doctorate examined digital twins in relation to New Zealand urban well-being and the Treasury's Living Standards Framework. The research used public social, economic and environmental data, tested open-source platforms including Eclipse Ditto and FIWARE, and evaluated a proof-of-concept approach. A peer-reviewed Cities paper published in October 2025 developed the work into a well-being-oriented framework for urban digital twins.
