The UN-Habitat’s Urban Data Portal is an online interactive tool for exploring key urban indicators across participating cities. The tool collates and analyses statistics from around the world in a simple format that allows users to visually learn about the state of cities based on their choice of indicators, in areas such as resilience, health, population, and transport. Cities and regions can be compared for further detail, and includes future projections up until 2050.

The data for over 700 cities is provided by national statistics authorities, and compiled by the UN-Habitat’s Global Urban Observatory. The original datasets are available for download and the tool can also generate infographics for project and research use.
