This Data Catalogue publication brings together publicly available data on Environmental, Energy, Transport, Economic, and Health and inequality indicators relevant to the City of Glasgow. Its aim is to support policy analysis by sharing information on the existence of such data to improve the accessibility to key datasets.
Each entry in the Data Catalogue highlights characteristics of these data, including: geographical coverage (ranging from data zones to national level), temporal coverage, timeliness, and any lag in data release, i.e. the time between the period to which the data relates to and its publication. More timely indicators can provide valuable insights to guide policy action, but might come with greater uncertainty or incomplete information, available only after more information is available. Where possible, we have provided illustrative charts using the most granular and most recently published data for each indicator.
While the data included were up to date at the time of writing, this resource is intended to support ongoing analysis. Consequently, some figures will inevitably become outdated over time.
This publication has been developed through the GEMINOA (Glasgow Environmental Monitoring of Indoor and Outdoor Air) project – a collaborative initiative involving the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Science Centre, and SmartSTEMs, with funding from ICLEI Europe.
Further information about the GEMINOA project and outputs can be found at the Fraser of Allander GEMINOA project page or on the GEMINOA website.
