Title of the Project: Spatial Analysis of Housing Development in London
The aim of the project is to analyse and visualise data from the London Development Database (LDD), a uniquely detailed and comprehensive database of housing development in London held by the Greater London Authority and based on data from London borough planning departments. The rich amount of detail on each individual scheme in the LDD make it a uniquely useful dataset, and the GLA is keen to make more and better use of it, including making the data more widely available in as informative and engaging a format as possible.
Duration: Feb to Dec 2012
