Scientific Description
The UBDC is a UK-wide national data service for researchers who want to use big data to address a range of urban challenges, both local and global. Funded by the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council as part of their Big Data Network, it is a unique facility that brings together the expertise of urban social scientists, data scientists, transport engineers and statisticians. The Centre supports researchers, policymakers, businesses, third sector organisations, and everyday citizens to harness the potential of big data to develop solutions for environmentally sustainable, economically resilient, and socially just cities.
