Urban Observatory
Working to make our cities smart and sustainable through real-time urban data. The Urban Observatory has the largest set of publicly available real-time urban data in the UK.
The observatory makes millions of daily observations through their urban sensors. They have more than 50 different types in their network, which can help us improve air quality, manage transport growth and traffic congestion, and prepare for climate change.
Through this urban monitoring, we have a better insight into how Newcastle works, and where we can improve.
