Abstract/Summary

This report considers opportunities for future 3D urban geology modelling at the BGS. A total of 42 towns and cities in Great Britain were considered in this study, selected based on expected growth areas, e.g. Leeds, Oxford, and/or regionally important urban centres e.g. London, Glasgow. The selected areas also include 13 ‘Cohort 1’ towns identified by the UK Governments Towns Fund, such as Blackpool and Middlesbrough. The review reflects on recent and current 3D urban modelling approaches; considers the nature and complexity of the geology of British towns and cities; evaluates the availability of geological data for 3D modelling and suitable 3D modelling software; and highlights priority areas for innovation. It concludes by providing a series of recommendations for urban geology modelling.
