Mapping Power | Geospatial Revolution
The Geospatial Revolution Project, from WPSU Penn State public broadcasting, looks at Kibera, a community in Nairobi that experiences poverty. This city was a blank spot on the map until recently. This video shows how geospatial technology enabled residents to map important resources to help their community.
Residents from Kibera went out into the community with GPS devices and located areas with community resources: houses, businesses, schools, health clinics, movie theaters, mills for grinding corn, restaurants, and bars, as well as areas that needed resources.
