GLA’s London Datastore

Environmental challenge(s) met
Smart City Strategy
Open Data Platform

Country:
United Kingdom

City:
London

Outline of project:
The London Datastore has been created by the Greater London Authority (GLA) in partnership with various collaborators such as the ODI, Smart London Board, the Borough Data Partnership, WCCD, OBUG and the Future Cities Catapult. The aim of the Datastore is to provide equal access to data that the GLA and other public sector organisations hold, allowing citizens to use this data however they see fit - free of charge.

The London Datastore has a section dedicated to environmental data which covers: household waste generated; household recycling rates; cost of waste management methods; carbon dioxide emissions (by sector); average nitrogen dioxide levels; average PM2.5 levels; and reservoir levels. The Datastore includes an easy to understand ‘surface’ page with high-level graphs and information, with click-throughs to more detailed information as well as the raw data itself.

What stage is the project at?
