Participants will learn and leave better equipped to use innovative mapping and data co-production approaches to tackle the SDGs and improve living conditions in urban deprived areas, peripheral territories and informal settlements.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Understand approaches to mapping urban deprived areas using community-led mapping, community-led mapping, open geospatial data and Artificial Intelligence/Earth Observation.
Know innovative case studies including SDI Know Your City Campaign, Brazil's "Map of the Peripheries" and the IDEAMAPS justice-oriented urban data ecosystems.
Assess the added value and costs of the mapping approaches to monitor and progress SDGs in their local context
