[HOT] Blog: What did we learn from mapping African megacity Dar es Salaam?

[Hawa Adinani]

Thanks, Marco and Pete for the feedback.

@Marco The paper is really interesting and you have made a good analysis of
OSM data especially on its quality. I was very impressed when you mentioned
that Dar es Salaam is currently one of the most densely OSM-mapped regions
in the world, Thanks to Ramani Huria'-- This is one of the successes of the
project.

Asante

Hawa Adinani.
