Digital twin (DT) is recognized as a pillar in the transition from traditional to digital construction, yet risks (opportunities and threats) associated with its implementation have not been thoroughly determined literature. In addition, there scarcity of research relating DT maturity levels, which has hindered optimum consideration such when adopted at different levels. To address these gaps, this study conducted literature review 1889 documents Scopus Web Science databases. After rigorous filtration, 72 were selected comprehensively reviewed. A total 47 risk factors (RFs) identified categorized into opportunities (economic, technical, environmental sustainability, monitoring safety, management) threats policy management). Subsequently, RFs mapped onto five-level model, providing users insights on each level. The exhaustive list proposed integration model corresponding enables stakeholders identify their specific use cases facilitate decision-making success across various levels real-life construction projects.

Transportation infrastructure is central to economic development and the daily lives of citizens. However, rapid urbanization, increasing vehicle ownership, growing concerns about sustainable have significantly heightened complexity managing these systems. Although digital twin (DT) technology holds great promise, most current research focuses on specific areas, lacking a comprehensive framework that spans entire lifecycle transportation infrastructure, from planning construction operation maintenance. The technical challenges integrating different DT systems remain unclear, which some extent limits potential in management infrastructure. To address this gap, review first summarizes fundamental concepts architectures involved for such as roads, bridges, tunnels, hubs. From perspective, are categorized based functional scope, data integration methods, application stages, their key technologies basic frameworks outlined. Subsequently, applications various stages infrastructure—planning construction, maintenance, decommissioning renewal—are analyzed, progress reviewed discussed. Finally, future directions achieving full system encompassing technical, operational, ethical aspects, discussed summarized. insights gained herein will be valuable researchers, urban planners, engineers, policymakers.

To date, a plethora of research has been published investigating the value using Digital Twin (DT) technology in construction industry. However, contribution DT to promoting social sustainability industry largely unexplored. Therefore, current paper aims address this gap by exploring untapped potential advancing within end, comprehensive systematic literature review was conducted, which identified 298 relevant studies. These studies were subsequently analysed with respect their use supporting sustainability. The findings indicated that contributed 8 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), strong focus on SDG11 (77 publications), followed SDG3 and SDG9, 58 48 studies, respectively, focusing health well-being fostering resilient infrastructure innovation. Other contributions for SDG13 (30 studies), SDG7 (27 SDG12 (26 SDG4 (21 SDG6 (11 covering areas such as climate action, responsible consumption, affordable energy, quality education, clean water sanitation. This also proposes future directions further enhance include (i) enhancing inclusivity diversity, (ii) workforce safety well-being, (iii) training skill development, (iv) policy regulatory support, (v) cross-disciplinary collaboration.
