Know Your City 2.0
The KnowYourCity Campaign led by Slum Dwellers International in collaboration with our researchers at the University of Chicago was a massive demonstration of the power of informal communities to collect map and survey data on their current challenges and priorities.
We demonstrated that it was possible to create harmonized surveys and maps in over 5,000 settlements in 224 cities and 18 nations in the Global South, expressing the challenges of life in these underserviced environments and the needs of their populations.
TransformYourCity will develop a new campaign with precision mapping, and verifiable data across settlements and cities of West Africa. It will show but how such data can be used in bottom up processes of urban planning to spark inclusive development and resilience to climate change challenges.
