The Urban Observatory Compare app shows maps of the same subject for three cities, in a side by side comparison view. The app allows quick visual comparisons of the patterns at work in cities around the world.The app allows people to interact with rich datasets for each city. People can use the Urban Observatory web application to easily compare cities by using a simple web browser. As a user zooms in to one digital city map, other city maps will zoom in parallel, revealing similarities and differences in density and distribution. For instance, a person can simultaneously view traffic density for Abu Dhabi and Paris or simultaneously view vegetation in London and Tokyo.The Urban Observatory is brought to you by Richard Saul Wurman, creator of Technology/Entertainment/Design (TED) and 19.20.21; Jon Kamen of the Academy Award-, Emmy Award-, and Golden Globe Award-winning film company @radical.media; and Esri president Jack Dangermond. "A map is a pattern made understandable, and patterns must be compared to understand successes, failures, and opportunities of our global cities," says Wurman. "The Urban Observatory demonstrates this new paradigm, using cartographic language and constructive data display. People and cities can use maps as a common language," said Wurman. The application utilizes Esri's ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Once a web map is created, it is added to a group and tagged to indicated its city and subject information. Those tags are read by the application as it starts up in the browser.

This is a propspectus that describes how the AUO is an intuitive digital liveability planning platform that transforms complex urban data into easily understood liveability indicators across 9 categories.

Continuous dataset collection since 2014 through Urban Observatory (UO) sensors. The data covers the geographical area of the North East of England centred on Newcastle upon Tyne (for geographical extent and location of sensors see http://uoweb1.ncl.ac.uk). Data is collected from a variety of sensor platforms with different performance metrics, sampling regimes and sensitivity levels. Information on individual sensors should be consulted before use at http://uoweb1.ncl.ac.uk. Data can be downloaded or accessed via a REST API at http://uoweb1.ncl.ac.uk. Environment metrics include: NO2 Concentration, Pm10 Concentration, VOC, NO, Pm2.5 Concentration, NO2, Ozone Concentration, Humidity, CO2, Temperature, PM, CO, SO2 Concentration, allpollution, Sound, Luminosity.

This document provides a list of all liveability indicators included in the Australian Urban Observatory and names all of the 21 cities where the project maps and measures liveability across Australia.

The urban indicators data available here are analyzed, compiled and published by UN-Habitat’s Global Urban Observatory which supports governments, local authorities and civil society organizations to develop urban indicators, data and statistics. Urban statistics are collected through household surveys and censuses conducted by national statistics authorities. Global Urban Observatory team analyses and compiles urban indicators statistics from surveys and censuses. Additionally, Local urban observatories collect, compile and analyze urban data for national policy development. Population statistics are produced by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, World Urbanization Prospects.

IMPORTANT: the website urbandata.unhabitat.org is no longer available. An arcgis hub is available: https://urban-data-guo-un-habitat.hub.arcgis.com/. These data are published in several datasets now or published in another way. This dataset is frozen.This dataset compiles urban indicators published by UN-Habitat's Global Urban Observatory, which supports governments, local authorities and civil society organizations to develop urban indicators, data and statistics. Urban statistics are collected through household surveys and censuses conducted by national statistics authorities.These indicators concern Slums dwellers, Population, Resilience, City prosperity, Streets, Transport, Health, Education, Crime and Land area. Their scope is either national or local (city scale). Not all indicators are available for each location.

This map shows the distribution of poverty in Philadelphia. With Smart Mapping, two variables are mapped and shown using both size and color. Here, the larger symbols represent areas that have a larger count of people in poverty while the brighter purple symbols highlight areas with a high percentage of poverty.

This layer displays the number of jobs that are accessible within 30 minutes by walking and transit averaged between 7 and 9 am for the 46 most populated cities in the United States. Using data provided by the University of Minnesota's Accessibility Observatory, this is the most detailed analysis of job access by transit to date. This dataset was released in the fall of 2014.
