Improving the accuracy of gridded population estimates in cities and slums to monitor SDG 11
Evaluating the Accuracy of Gridded Population Estimates in Slums
Low- and middle-income country cities face unprecedented urbanization and growth in slums. Gridded population data (e.g., ~100 × 100 m) derived from demographic and spatial data are a promising source of population estimates, but face limitations in slums due to the dynamic nature of this population as well as modelling assumptions. In this study, we compared field-referenced boundaries and population counts from Slum Dwellers International in La…
Natural Disaster Hotspots Case Studies
These case studies complement the \n earlier groundbreaking work of Natural Disaster Hotspots: A \n Global Risk Analysis published in April 2005. Three case \n studies address specific hazards: landslides, storm surges \n and drought. An additional, three case studies address \n regional multi-hazard situations in Sri Lanka, the Tana \n River basin in Kenya, and the city of Caracas, Venezuela
