This website was developed as a collaboration involving Newcastle University, Hedgehog Lab, MHCLG and Newcastle City Council.
Its development was part-funded by the Local Digital Fund.
The current version of the live website can be viewed at HowBusyIsToon.com.
Hugo, the static site generator, is used to generate the HTML content. You can install this on your own machine and run hugo
in the web/
directory, which will create a public
directory of the content.
Refer to the Hugo documentation for additional options for development purposes.
A development compose stack is also available. To run it, use:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
The Urban Observatory runs this site under Traefik. Deployment on our systems is performed by running:
docker-compose up
A Google Maps API key is required. Set this in the .env
file, such as
HUGO_PARAMS_googleMapsKey=your_key_goes_here
