This multi-disciplinary research centre that brings together researchers, businesses and government agencies, to apply data science and visual analytics to challenges in and for London.

Urban areas are predicted to host more than 70% of the world’s population by 2050 and therefore are critical to study for the future of our health, clean energy and economic growth. Engagement with external partners is central to our activities, this provides real-world context for research projects, supports placements, leads to employment opportunities and delivers value to our partners including access to the latest digital skills.
