One of the factors constraining our ability to improve the functioning of UK cities is the lack of robust data at the city level, according to a new report from the Centre for Cities. It argues that the UK Government needs to do more to increase awareness of and use of the data it holds, and cities themselves need to recognise the value of the data they collect and begin sharing this data for the benefit of their residents. This report highlights some of the benefits seen around the world from opening up data, whether that data be classed primarilyas public, private or big data. It also highlights data currently held by the UK Government that if released would significantly improve the understanding of cities; and it sets out some important areas in which data collection needs to be improved.
