A Little About Me

I'm Dr Vikki Houlden, Associate Professor in Urban Data Science and leader of the MSc Urban Data Science and Analytics at the University of Leeds. Through my research, I aim to understand the ways in which spaces and places embody inequalities, and the social structures influencing how people relate to their environment- I am particularly interested in how urban landscapes impact health and wellbeing.

Research

I approach urban challenges, such as greenspace, mental health and social peripheralisation, through geospatial methods and theory which draws on my interdisciplinary background in urban science, data analytics, engineering and geography.
