Curious what it looks like when national #mapping agencies partner with @ThisIsPLACE to capture #spatial data? Read about how the #Anguilla #survey department worked with PLACE and see how they are using the #imagery. thisisplace.org/anguilla_202…

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! maphappenings.com

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.
