Musavir.AI, a startup working in generative artificial intelligence and computer vision, has unveiled what it says is the first 3D digital map of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The company describes the map as a digital twin of the twin cities, a single living model that covers every sector, road and building. Its pitch is that city planners and other stakeholders can use such a model to make decisions on evidence and not on guesswork, and it is already showing the platform to professionals in government, real estate and event management.
The company points to several uses in urban planning. Planners can use the model to compare possible locations for a new hospital, school or park, and they can run flood simulations well before the monsoon to see which streets and homes would be at risk. The same model can be used to test traffic, plan road closures and map new transit routes before any construction begins, which saves money and avoids mistakes that are expensive to undo once a project is built.
The platform also targets real estate, where land disputes and unclear records are a long-standing problem in Pakistan. Musavir.AI says that keeping each land parcel and its documents in one place on a shared map can build trust among all parties, and it adds a layer of plots on top of the map so that property users can buy, sell or bid at auction through the 3D interface. Organisations can also place their project or brand at the centre of the interactive city to showcase it, which opens a use for event organisers and developers, and the company invites interested users to message the team or book a live demo.
Musavir.AI describes itself as an AI-native studio that builds products across creative and engineering fields, including a platform for generating video, images and avatars and work in 3D worlds and digital twins. Its team works from the Dubai AI Campus, it holds a Dubai AI Seal, and it has been selected by the Dubai Future Foundation. Co-founder Arslan Javed, who also co-founded the real estate marketplace Graana.com, has said the company applies spatial AI to how cities are planned and built. The company has not published details of the data sources behind the twin of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, nor how often the model will be updated, and the claim that it is the first of its kind is the company’s own.
