The making and unmaking of the city: as the governor bulldozes communities and their histories, the work of #ChicocoRadio journalists and #ChicocoMaps researchers is testament to the creativity of people in Port Harcourt's self-built waterfront settlements.
Today, Martha packed up her room, with her mother and her child and left her home to the bulldozers.
Martha lost her home, not her voice.

Really excited to share some of the work of our #citizenscience air quality monitoring project led by the #ChicocoMaps team.
Let us know if you are interested in learning more or helping us expand our citizen science project!

We call ourselves mappers, but really it's all about bringing our neighbors together to improve their community. Happy World Town Planners Day to all the other community planners out there! #WTPD2019 #ChicocoMaps #OurCity
#ChicocoMaps has added some new tools to our belt. Thanks to some data collection tools we picked up from our friends at @CadastaOrg we are now able to update our community base maps from the field. And of course it's exciting to see our progress right there on the phone screen!
We're a day late on celebrating #GlobalSurveyorsDay because we were too busy out in the field surveying. And since it's still #WomensHistoryMonth we're excited to celebrate Sira and Comfort, who are just a few of the women making up our #ChicocoMaps team.
#ChicocoMaps: a world of stories; a map of the future.
Our #ChicocoMaps team had a great week learning about new data collection tools from our friends at @CadastaOrg. Stay tuned for how use those tools as we launch a new waterfront community mapping project!
Did you miss us last week discussing our #ChicocoMaps programme on the Global Land Programme webinar on the 'Co-production of Sustainable Land Systems'? Well you are in luck, you can catch the recording here: https://t.co/YmLIVchLP6
Shit happens. How to deal with it? Our mapping team won a World Bank bid to survey citywide sanitation services. Informal settlements across the city are now included in the most ambitious WASH plan in Nigeria. We want to make it happen. #ChicocoMaps: put yourself on the map.
@osomproduct1 @djmurphy Hey, Ososm, you were awesome on the decks at #ChicocoMaps community town hall. Maps and music! Thank you.
Nothing quite as exciting as a new #ChicocoCommunityMap. Don't believe? Take a look! There aren't any maps or surveys in the city as deep and detailed as the ones we've made together.

#AngalaPeople #ChicocoPeople: Snow is our kind of people - lead actor in #AngalaCommunity; producer in #ChicocoStudios; singer at #ChicocoShows; out on the streets with #ChicocoMaps; struggling and creating to transform his city; and now he's giving you cash!

Encounter and Exchange: our maps help people who shape the city find each other. For Dre and George the streets are often fraught with police harassment. At #ChicocoMaps they work together with senior officers to make informal communities safer for residents, especially women.
#ChicocoMaps researches colonial cartographies to understand how maps are often used as tools of dominance. Our youth mapping team explore how the power to put yourself on the map can become a force of emancipation. Making maps; changing the story; reclaiming the city.
Great to have you, @Manlike_ED and @Tweetest_Boi drop in. Our plan is to make PHC a Garden City for all of us - rich and poor. #ChicocoRadio, #ChicocoCinema, #ChicocoStudios, #ChicocoMaps: for you to make your voices heard. Tune in. Follow us. Join us!
#ChicocoMaps is charting the divisive contours of extreme inequality in Port Harcourt, Nigeria's oil capital. Our research is led by young people from the city's informal settlements: more than mapmakers, they're movement builders, envisioning just futures for #CitiesYetToCome.
Information is power. Stories change lives. #ChicocoMaps gathers the data. @chicocoradio shares the stories.
#AngalaCommunity is a new radio drama that tells the stories of the streets we map, the streets we live in.
Making maps. Changing the story. Reclaiming the city.
Our youth-led mapping programme's not only about gathering data, it's also about telling stories. Maps don't just describe the world, they make worlds. #ChicocoMaps crew created a map of the fictional location for @chicocoradio's new drama, #AngalaCommunity. Airing now. Tune in!
