The Centre for Doctoral Training in Urban Science & Progress educates scientists in methods to harvest and process big data in order to develop a better understanding of the science of cities, and train them to apply that knowledge to find smarter solutions to urban problems. To enable future cities to deliver services effectively, efficiently and sustainably, while keeping their citizens safe, healthy, prosperous, and well informed, requires a step-change in knowledge and understanding.

Our Research

In focusing on the means to gather city-scale data, and the apparatus to transform this data into knowledge, our CDT's research programme capitalises on emerging developments in machine learning, spatial data management, and in interdisciplinary solutions to the world’s urban challenges.
