How to add data to the CityLoops Data Hub
The following steps need to be carried out to add data to the CityLoops Data Hub:
- Open your city’s Community Portal. If you cannot remember the link replace “sevilla” in the following URL with your city’s name: https://cityloops.metabolismofcities.org/dashboards/sevilla/hub/harvesting/
- Choose the correct sublayer for which you want to upload data.
- Under “upload new item”, select the data format that you wish to upload.
- Fill in the correct info for the fields: name, authors, description, publication year, source, URL etc. Take care to properly edit and curate the information.
- Click “Save”
Congratulations! The data item has been submitted and a new entry recorded. A task to process this item has been automatically created by the MoC bot.
Upload data

Tip: When in doubt, use the discussion section at the bottom of the relevant page to engage with Metabolism of Cities and with the larger data collector community for advice.
