What is an Urban Observatory?
Through the gathering of data relating to the physical processes within cities, Urban Observatories enable characterisation of how cities ‘work’ and how their constituent engineering, natural and social systems interact.
This characterisation is achieved through the analysis of data to create information, support modelling and build simulations of these physical processes.
