Urban Data Stories are narrated analyses of urban data sets where we shed light on a particular urban aspect. The stories are a simplified version of a Urban Data Insights service offering by urbanixm. The Urban Data Insights help local panning authorities and property developers to explore local challenges and opportunities through a bottom-up analysis of local data.
