About Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network

AURIN is a platform that provides access to data and analysis about Australian urban and infrastructure systems. It is intended for researchers, government policymakers, and industry. According to its homepage, it addresses three challenges for decision-makers: climate change, demographic shifts, and the transition to renewable energy.

AURIN brings together datasets on health, transport, housing, economic conditions, land use, and demographics into one platform. Access to the integrated platform is limited to authenticated Australian researchers. Some specialised data, such as transport noise overlay and buildings data, is available on request. Technical and scientific support is offered through the AURIN Edge program, which requires an application.
