PLACE

Building a mapping data trust for People and Planet

🛩️ Next stop: Aruba!

PLACE captured ~200 km² of aerial imagery across the island in September, with developed areas flown at 4 cm resolution.
One of our densest datasets yet, enabling building-level detail across developed areas.

Mapping beyond the capital matters🌏
Aerial image shows the Pangai, Ha'apai ferry terminal—a vital link connecting Tonga's outer islands. Expanding accurate mapping across the archipelago supports planning and disaster resilience.

The World Cup is football’s biggest stage—but every journey starts somewhere. 🌍⚽
From Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria to Malawi and Liberia,
PLACE captures football through high-resolution aerial and street-level imagery.
Every field has a story.

The World Cup proves football thrives everywhere. We’re mapping community pitches in Cabo Verde, Turks and Caicos, Anguilla, Tuvalu, Saint Vincent, Tonga, and beyond with aerial & street-level imagery. ⚽ Small islands. Big football culture. #WorldCup #Football #PLACE #Geospatial

AI has a geography problem—and better data is the solution. Models trained on limited regions don't always generalize globally. Our CTO, Waddah Hago, explains why representative geospatial data is key to building AI that works everywhere. https://t.co/5CqS7uyhhD

🧩There is an incomplete picture of the global state of DPI.

To fill this gap, IIPP has launched the DPI Map which allows users to explore the digital systems that are reshaping public service delivery around the world.

We are working @ThisIsPLACE to create a data trust of #mapping data in partnership with data started governments - a nuanced approach that is difficult to explain. @mapguy has done a great job capturing our model in the latest @maphappenings - give a read! https://t.co/3dgXKCzf2D

The @ThisisPLACE team uses the @Mosaic360camera to collect quality, high-resolution #PLACEGround street imagery. This work would not be possible w/o the partnership of @BNETD_CI.

Notre travail de collecte de données ne serait pas possible sans le partenariat avec @BNETD_CI.
