Patrick Lamson-Hall Mentioned in GISuser
In “Using AI to Map African Cities to Improve Services and Infrastructure at Low Cost,” Research Scholar Patrick Lamson-Hall’s efforts are mentioned.
OS mapping data will help identify informal settlements, population and density, the number of built structures, the location of transport infrastructure surrounding the formal and informal neighbourhoods, as well as access to electricity, sanitation facilities and clean water. A sister project, led by Patrick Lamson-Hall of New York University’s Marron Institute, is contributing to this analysis by creating a typology of the various informal settlements and tracking their expansion over time.
