Sensing Leeds: Shaping the Future of Urban Environmental Data


Unlocking Environmental Intelligence for a Sustainable City


Join us for an inspiring event as we unveil Sensing Leeds, an innovative digital platform set to transform how we understand and shape our urban environment. Discover how a new, open-access web-portal brings together data from over 100 sensors across the Leeds city area, seamlessly integrating data from universities, the city council, and beyond.


Learn how this unified dataset can empower researchers, policymakers, and communities to monitor Leeds’ environmental transformation as it embraces modern transit solutions, sustainable regeneration, and adapts to a changing climate.


Meet the visionary team behind the project, including experts from Leeds Beckett University, the University of Leeds, Leeds City Council, and SimAnalytica. Together, explore how data-driven insights, advanced visualisation, and SimAnalytica’s novel knowledge graph technology applications are being harnessed to drive adaptation, decarbonisation, resilience, and fair economic growth in West Yorkshire.


Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the future of urban intelligence and join the conversation on building greener, smarter cities!
