Big Data is all around us - but what use is it if our roads are still congested, our cities crowded, our air polluting. How can we make meaningful change using insights from data? This podcast focuses on the science behind our cities - how we can use data to understand how to plan our cities and how this can, in turn, help improve peoples' health.

The episode features an interview with Laurence Oakes-Ash, founder and CEO of City Science. City Science is an ambitious new technology company developing data-tools and software solutions to optimise city systems.
