Evidence snapshot for Freetown
Freetown's Urban Data & Community Drone-Mapping Programme shows that the city has systematically mapped its transportation and settlement infrastructure through civic data initiatives. The programme mapped 4,038 km of formal and informal bus routes and trained a 28-member drone crew including 10 pilots from informal communities to produce high-resolution aerial imagery at 3–10x lower cost than traditional surveys. This data now supports municipal planning tasks including waste management, property taxation and informal-settlement recognition, though the evidence does not quantify outcomes from these applications.
