This presentation showcases research conducted at the Bank of England exploring the significant risks and impacts of flooding on businesses in the UK. This research leverages a novel panel dataset comprising address, flood and business records, with AddressBase Premium at its heart. This presentation will walk through the methodology and main findings of this research. It will also discuss some of the tools that can be used to analyse large geospatial data. Finally, it will demonstrate how invaluable UPRNs prove to be for analysis like this and suggests opportunities for further use of UPRN-indexed data at the Bank of England.

Streetworks cost the UK £4bn every year in delays and disruption. Demand for new work on the roads is going up, thanks to the need to replace, repair and install infrastructure - everything from gas to broadband to electric vehicles. How can the UK get better at reducing disruption? How could data help prevent and coordinate streetworks? And could new technology and policy tools for local government change the way we manage infrastructure? This talk will look at the latest thinking on streetworks - and why place-based data is essential to a future system.
