About

This experience transforms real Born in Bradford data into an interactive journey, revealing how data can inform future thinking around people, communities and green spaces across the city.

Visitors are invited to share their own ideas around local green spaces, contributing to a wider picture reflected in the exhibition. Through this interactive process, you become part of a living, evolving dataset.

At the heart of the installation, a glowing 3D structure shows the collective power of this information. Each dot represents real insights from the community, showing how we are all connected and how our shared knowledge can shape the future of urban green spaces.

How your data is used:

Follow a question trail and add magnetic dots to share your favourite outdoor spaces or how being outdoors makes you feel. Later, complete a touchscreen questionnaire about green spaces and see your responses visualised in real time alongside others in your age group or local area. No identifiable personal information is collected—only broad age range and location.
