Digital cities are a topic of high interest today. While they have been discussed for a number of years, technological developments, particularly in the area of 3D and remote sensing have propelled them forward. While geographic information systems (GIS) are natural integrator's of spatial information, their role in spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is well known. A line runs between digital cities and SDI that is closing quickly. How can digital cities and SDI connect?

Digital cities are discussed regularly today, although many people define them in different ways and understand them in numerous ways. There are GIS digital cities, CAD digital cities, visualisation digital cities and database digital cities. Depending on the spatial sunglasses that one is wearing, different approaches for enumerating digital content suitable for digital city work are also presented. We have a bit of work to do yet on nailing down the description or meaning of a digital city, but it is fair to say we are in the infancy of the movement and that will come in due course - like almost every other new geospatial awakening.
