Building a mapping data trust for People and Planet

[Esri Blog @EsriBlog]

Rising seas threaten the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu and the country's leaders are taking action. A digital twin—created with GIS and high-resolution imagery captured by @ThisIsPLACE—help study climate impacts and preserve cultural heritage. https://t.co/mKVwi4aGmJ

🧩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.

Session

Harnessing the Power of Geospatial Data and Urban Dynamic Mapping for Smarter and Inclusive City Development by @ThisIsPLACE & @EnabelinRwanda.

@KasparKundert, highlights the pivotal role of geospatial data, comprising 80% of all data, in advancing smart cities and enhancing the quality of life.

The main challenge in Africa isn't technology or expertise but rather economic sustainability. Kaspar's solution involves two key elements: community funding and data licensing.

By engaging communities in funding geospatial data projects and implementing effective data licensing, he aims to secure financial stability and promote the sustainable use of this valuable resource.
