Sensing Leeds: Environmental Data as a Shared Civic Asset for Neighbourhood‑Scale Climate Adaptation
Join us for a thought‑provoking session exploring how cities can treat environmental data not as a technical system, but as a shared civic asset - one that must be governed collaboratively, accessed responsibly and used to support place‑based climate decision‑making.
Using Sensing Leeds as a live example, this session looks at how city‑scale sensing and data platforms can still generate meaningful neighbourhood‑level insight, supporting more equitable and effective climate adaptation. Rather than focusing on technology alone, the discussion highlights the importance of trust, governance, stewardship and local interpretation in ensuring environmental data delivers public value where impacts are felt most acutely.
The session brings together perspectives from academia and industry to reflect on the role of universities and partners in supporting cities to move from high‑volume environmental data to locally relevant, decision‑ready intelligence and what this means for future collaboration between cities, institutions and innovators.
