Regional observatory

Urban Metrics UK

A map-first West Midlands observatory for exploring regional context and health access through focused workspaces with explicit source, freshness, geography, and caveat metadata.

Operational status

degraded

Generated data, health endpoint, and source freshness are tracked together.

Workspaces

2 focused routes

Regional context and health access now live separately so geography and interpretation stay coherent.

Published layers

7 monitored overlays

Every shipped layer still exposes source, freshness, geography, and caveat metadata.

Typed source adapters and generated artifacts rather than brittle raw client fetches.
Separate workspaces keep ward-based regional context and Sub ICB health access views interpretable.
Public-facing source, freshness, geography, and caveat metadata remain visible for every shipped layer.
Operational status endpoint and scheduled monitoring stay global across the whole product.
