Navigating Urban Adaptation: Cutting-Edge Drone Assessments for Smarter and More Accessible Cities

Rapid urbanisation and the effects of climate change mean cities must adapt and ensure no-one is left behind. Freetown City Council (FCC) in collaboration with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team have mapped the entire city using inexpensive drones and open-source software, with city residents trained as pilots and data stewards. FCC can now better analyse, plan and implement interventions regarding accessibility for people with disabilities, land use planning and solid waste management. Its community rootedness and cost-efficiency make this a unique approach for urban development worldwide.
