CityDashboard aggregates simple spatial data for cities around the UK and displays the data on a dashboard and a map.
It is a website, created by the CASA research lab at UCL.
It was part of the NeISS project and was funded by JISC.
Development took place during the first half of 2012 and it has been maintained since.
CityDashboard is an early prototype and should be considered to be "alpha quality" - expect data feeds to break regularly. Please do not rely on information displayed in CityDashboard, as it may be erroneous. For example, if the CASA Geiger counter is showing a high reading, please do not panic! Somebody in the office might just have placed some Brazil nuts or another calibration source in front of the detector.
