The work of IDEAtlas will support national and local governments as well as the civil society to monitor progress on SDG indicator 11.1.1 on the proportion of the urban population living in slums, informal settlements or inadequate housing.
The project adopts a user-centred approach where various local, national and international stakeholders participate in the co-design and co-development of the AI-based solutions. The project builds on previous and partners with ongoing works and available data generated within IDEAMAPS and SLUMAP.
The developed algorithms will then be implemented and integrated into a cloud-based end-to-end processing system, and its performance demonstrated in eight test cities.

· Lagos, Nigeria
· Nairobi, Kenya
· Dhaka, Bangladesh
with more cities to be included as the project progresses.
DEPRIMAP - Unraveling the dynamics of deprived urban areas in the Majority World using AI and Earth Observation to foster evidence-based sustainable planning
DEPRIMAP aims to map, model, and analyze deprived urban areas (DUAs) in the Majority World using advanced geospatial data and machine learning techniques. The project focuses on understanding the socio-economic vulnerabilities and environmental risks faced by DUAs contributing to more resilient and sustainable urban planning.
