Equipment, Team and Mission
BuildingaGeospatialPlatform:ZanzibarMappingInitiative
31. • Each grid covers an area of 3km x 3 km (9km²).
• In optimal conditions (no wind), one zone can be covered in 6 flights (at a GSD=
7 cm).
• In order to facilitate data management, each grid has been assigned a unique
Zone ID.
• There are currently 239 zones in Unguja and 182 Zones in Pemba. In the future,
it will be possible to add more zones. Important is to keep the Zone_ID as a
unique identifier.
• This has been done in order to manage size of data per square and being able
to work with it.

DaresSalaam: RapidandUnplannedGrowth
• By 2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and
upgrade slums
• By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all,
improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of
those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons
• By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated
and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries
• Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage
• By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected and
substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused by
disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in
vulnerable situations
• By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special
attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management
• By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in
particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities
• Support positive economic, social and environmental links between urban, peri-urban and rural areas
by strengthening national and regional development planning
• By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and
implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and
adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement, in line with the
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, holistic disaster risk management at all
levels
• Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building
sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials

Half of humanity – 3.5 billion people – lives in cities today
By 2030, almost 60 per cent of the world’s population will live in urban areas
95 per cent of urban expansion in the next decades will take place in developing world
828 million people live in slums today and the number keeps rising
The world’s cities occupy just 3 per cent of the Earth’s land, but account for 60-80 per cent of energy consumption and 75 per cent of carbon emissions
Rapid urbanization is exerting pressure on fresh water supplies, sewage, the living environment, and public health
But the high density of cities can bring efficiency gains and technological innovation while reducing resource and energy consumption
85.2% population increase in 15 years.
The primary cities of emerging countries are growing rapidly.
Dar es Salaam is not unique
Landsat 5
Landsat 8
Exemplifies the urban challenge, rapid unplanned growth, paralleled in lack of infrastructure to mitigate flooding
Data is challenging, both in terms of access, but capacity/tools to leverage/optimise usage.
The impact of flooding in Dar es Salaam
Displaces people, damages infrastructure, prevents sustainable development
Stress the importance of data driven development generally
Inform decisions and support policy generation
Recall the Addis Ababa UNGGIM declaration with data
[NEXT SLIDE TO CONTINUE MESSAGE]
However, this data is often scant/missing
The causes of flooding are not localized, but spread throughout a regional area.
Therefore, mass data collection is needed to make sense of the scale of flooding
Ramani Huria “Open Map”
Provides a platform for innovation, fusing drones, remote sensing, citizen data
Participatory mapping
Allows the mapping of risk reduction priorities at a hyper-local level
Connects local government officers with citizens to identify
Generated through basic tools (pens/paper)
Using flood inundation software, such as Inasafe, identify at-risk infrastructure/population
Leads to traditional outputs, leveraged by community leaders, city planners and other government/non-governmental organizations
Traditional outputs cover the city
Scale the most flood prone neighbourhoods of a city
Combine with Red Cross volunteers
Identify and create action plans to improve resilience to flooding and plans for disaster management
Partnership with Digital Globe, 2015 Imagery @30cm
Used in a combination of Tile Map Server and local geotiff for digitization
Invaluable for areas where UAV use is prohibited/unwise – for example airports

Used in a combination of Tile Map Server and difficulties of needing constant connectivity
Invaluable for areas where no other dataset exists, used for mapping new cities and towns.
