We're testing AI-derived geospatial datasets and #GeoAI frameworks for improving urban population mapping in low- and middle-income countries.

By combining survey data, satellite imagery, Open Buildings and anonymised mobility metrics, the project aims to support more equitable vaccine delivery, disaster response and urban planning.

AI-driven mapping to ensure no one is left behind in rapidly growing cities

WorldPop is testing AI-derived geospatial datasets and GeoAI frameworks for mapping urban populations more accurately for equitable health and disaster planning.

I got a request for adding a @leaflet plugin to the list, and rejected it on the basis that LLMs ""hallucinate"" data so fucking hard. Users of "GeoAI" should be ashamed of this kind of shit.

A new World Bank paper shows how graph neural networks and open data from WorldPop can turn national statistics into fine-scale economic maps.

The research combines our open population data, satellite imagery, OpenStreetMap, and AI to improve local insight for development planning, disaster response, and climate adaptation.
