Mortality Risk from High Temperatures in London (Triple Jeopardy Mapping)

A heatwave refers to a prolonged period of unusually hot weather. While there is no standard definition of a heatwave in England, the Met Office generally uses the World Meteorological Organization definition of a heatwave, which is "when the daily maximum temperature of more than five consecutive days exceeds the average maximum temperature by 5°C, the normal period being 1961-1990". They are common in the northern and southern hemisphere during summer, and have historically been associated with health problems and an increase in mortality.The urban heat island (UHI) is the phenomenon where temperatures are relatively higher in cities compared to surrounding rural areas due to, for example, the urban surfaces and anthropogenic heat sources. For an example of an urban heat island map during an average summer, see this dataset. For an example of an urban heat island map during a warm summer, see this dataset.As well as outdoor temperature, an individual’s heat exposure may also depend on the type of building they are inside, if indoors. Indoor temperature exposure may depend on a number of characteristics, such as the building geometry, construction materials, window sizes, and the ability to add extra ventilation. It is also known that people have different vulnerabilities to heat, with some more prone to negative health issues when exposed to high temperatures.This Triple Jeopardy dataset combines: Urban Heat Island information for London, based on the 55 days between May 26th -July 19th 2006, where the last four days were considered a heatwave An estimate of the indoor temperatures for individual dwellings in London across this time period Population age, as a proxy for heat vulnerability, and distribution From this, local levels of heat-related mortality were estimated using a mortality model derived from epidemiological data.The dataset comprises four layers: Ind_Temp_A – indoor Temperature Anomaly is the difference in degrees Celsius between the estimated indoor temperatures for dwellings and the average indoor temperature estimate for the whole of London, averaged by ward. Positive numbers show dwellings with a greater tendency to overheat in comparison with the London average HeatMortpM – total estimated mortality due to heat (outdoor and indoor) per million population over the entire 55 day period, inclusive of age effects HeatMorUHI – estimated mortality per million population due to increased outdoor temperature exposure caused by the UHI over the 55 day period (excluding the effect of overheating housing), inclusive of age effects HeatMorInd - estimated mortality per million population due to increased temperature exposure caused by heat-vulnerable dwellings (excluding the effect of the UHI) over the 55 day period, inclusive of age effects More information is on this website and in the Triple Jeopardy leaflet. The maps are also available as one combined PDF. More information is on this website and in the Triple Jeopardy leaflet.

Analysing Air Pollution Exposure in London

Updated in Februrary 2017.Air quality in London has improved in recent years as a result of policies to reduce emissions, primarily from road transport. However, recently updated maps of pollution concentrations for 2013 (LAEI 2013) still show significant areas of exceedances of the annual mean NO2 EU Limit Values. Improvements are planned to address these, as recently announced in the Mayor’s package of air quality measures.

Public Transport Accessibility Levels

Transport for London's (TFL) Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTALs)PTALS are a detailed and accurate measure of the accessibility of a point to the public transport network, taking into account walk access time and service availability. The method is essentially a way of measuring the density of the public transport network at any location within Greater London.Each area is graded between 0 and 6b, where a score of 0 is very poor access to public transport, and 6b is excellent access to public transport.The current methodology was developed in 1992, by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The model has been thoroughly reviewed and tested, and has been agreed by the London Borough-led PTAL development group as the most appropriate for use across London.The measure therefore reflects: Walking time from the point-of interest to the public transport access points; The reliability of the service modes available; The number of services available within the catchment; and The level of service at the public transport access points - i.e. average waiting time. It does not consider: The speed or utility of accessible services; Crowding, including the ability to board services; or, Ease of interchange. The PTAL methodology was developed for London where a dense integrated public transport network means that nearly all destinations can be reached within a reasonable amount of time. Research using the ATOS (Access to Opportunities and Services) methodology shows that there is a strong correlation between PTALs and the time taken to reach key services – i.e. high PTAL areas generally have good access to services and low PTAL areas have poor access to services.Notes6-digit references identify 100m grid squares.The 2015 files are available to download below. This includes the GIS contour files.Current PTAL values can be viewed on TfL’s web site.We also invite you to visit WebCAT: TfL’s Web-based Connectivity Assessment Toolkit. Through an interactive mapping interface users can view for any location in London, PTAL values as well as travel time plots. Associated with the travel time plots users can also select bar charts showing catchment statistics (for example, population, jobs or services) using the same travel time bands as displayed on the map.

Police and Crime Plan Consultation - October to November 2016

In 2016, Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime committed to a large-scale public consultation on the new Police and Crime Plan for 2017-2021.This report and associated datasets out the results from the first stage of the consultation process, to help develop the final draft of the Plan ahead of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime’s (MOPAC) consultation from December 2016-January 2017.A total of nearly 8,000 Londoners participated in the consultation, across two identical surveys with distinct methodologies. A survey was conducted through City Hall’s online research community Talk London. An option was provided for respondents to fill out the survey without registering an account on Talk London (48 respondents chose this option).A further survey with identical questions and sample of 500 Londoners from black and ethnic minority backgrounds was commissioned through research agency TNS, in order to ensure that this group’s responses were well represented.Results from both surveys were combined and incorporated into the draft plan, ahead of a further consultation in Winter 2016. You can view the separate datasets or combined crosstabs below. Combined Talk London and TNS Survey Crosstabs – approximately 8,000 responses. Talk London Police and Crime Plan Survey Crosstabs – approximately 7,400 responses. Fieldwork from 26th October 2016-16th November 2016. TNS Police and Crime Plan Survey Crosstabs – Identical questionnaire to the main survey, with a sample of 500 Londoners from black and minority ethnic backgrounds – Fieldwork from 9th November 2016 to 21st November 2016. A number of Londoners responded to the consultation outside the survey, through discussions on Talk London or direct letters/email to the Mayor. These have been collated, read, included in qualitative analysis slides in the consultation report.

London’s Urban Heat Island - During A Warm Summer

For an urban heat island map during an average summer see this dataset. A heatwave refers to a prolonged period of unusually hot weather. While there is no standard definition of a heatwave in England, the Met Office uses the World Meteorological Organization definition of a heatwave, which is "when the daily maximum temperature of more than five consecutive days exceeds the average maximum temperature by 5°C, the normal period being 1961-1990". They are common in the northern and southern hemisphere during summer have historically been associated with health problems and an increase in mortality.The urban heat island (UHI) is the phenomenon where temperatures are relatively higher in cities compared to surrounding rural areas due to, for example, the urban surfaces and anthropogenic heat sources.This urban heat island map was produced using LondUM, a specific set-up of the Met Office Unified Model version 6.1 for London. It uses the Met Office Reading Surface Exchange Scheme (MORUSES), as well as urban morphology data derived from Virtual London. The model was run from May until September 2006 and December 2006. This map shows average surface temperatures over the summer period of 2006 at a 1km by 1km resolution. To find out more about LondUM, see the University of Reading’s website.The hourly outputs from LondUM have been aggregated and mapped by Jonathon Taylor, UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering. The gif below maps the temperatures across London during the four-day period of 16-19th July, which was considered a heatwave.If you make use of the LondUM data, please use the following citation to acknowledge the data and reference the publication below for model description: LondUM (2011).

London's Urban Heat Island - Average Summer

For an urban heat island map during a warm summer see this dataset. This map shows the results of an ‘UrbClim’ simulation for the mean temperature at midnight during the summer of 2011 (May to September) at a resolution of 250m. This summer has been selected as a typical summer for a West-European city.On average, the night-time temperature is approximately 4°C higher in the city centre. During some hot nights, even larger effects are observed.UrbClim is an urban climate model designed to model and study the urban heat island effect (UHI) at a spatial resolution of a few hundred meters. This project was carried out by VITO as part of an EU-funded RAMSES programme on the urban impacts of climate change.For more information about the model, please see the Technical Information and Interpretation report. Please direct any enquiries to Hans Hooyberghs (hans.hooyberghs@vito.be) or Koen De Ridder (koen.deridder@vito.be).

ONS mid-year estimates data back to 1961 total population for each year since 1961. These files take into account the revised estimates released in 2010. Ward level Population Estimates London wards single year of age data covering each year since 2002. Custom Age Range Tool An Excel tool is available that uses Single year of age data that enables users to select any age range required.ONS policy is to publish population estimates rounded to at least the nearest hundred persons. Estimates by single year of age, and the detailed components of change are provided in units to facilitate further calculations. They cannot be guaranteed to be as exact as the level of detail implied by unit figures.Estimates are calculated by single year of age but these figures are less reliable and ONS advise that they should be aggregated to at least five-year age groupings for use in further calculations, onwards circulation, or for presentation purposes. (Splitting into 0 year olds and 1-4 year olds is an acceptable exception).ONS mid-year population estimates data by 5 year age groups going all the way back to 1981, are available on the NOMIS website.Data are Crown Copyright and users should include a source accreditation to ONS - Source: Office for National Statistics.
