The Glasgow City Region Intelligence Hub provides the evidence, analysis and insight needed to support policy development, investment decisions, and strategic planning across the City Region’s eight member authorities.
We work with partners across local government, academia, business and the public sector to develop a shared understanding of the region’s economy, people, and places. Our work helps identify emerging trends, understand challenges and opportunities, measure progress, and inform decision making.

What do we do?
Economic Modelling and Evaluation
Analytical work that assesses the impacts of policies, programmes, and investments. This helps partners understand what works, measure outcomes, and identify where resources can have the greatest effect.
Examples include: Economic impact assessments, programme evaluations, scenario and forecasting models, and value-for-money analysis.
Spatial Analysis and Modelling
GIS helps to inform an understanding of the spatial patterns and relationships of both economic and other data across the Region. This supports a range of research and projects.
Examples range from identifying industrial clusters, town centre reviews to examining worker supply in relation to locations.
Outputs include maps, data, and online tools, including interactive maps and dashboards, as well as a data hub through which these finding can be shared.
Dashboards and Toolkits
