A glimpse over Mutendere, February 25th 2017
Mutendere is a suburb in the city of Lusaka, Zambia. The population of Zambia is growing rapidly and as such, many suburbs are increasing in population density in the capital. It is difficult to estimate the population of these smaller areas and looking at the buildings may give a sense of its population. This map visualizes the buildings in Mutendere. The data is extracted from OpenStreetMap and then converted to a GeoJSON. Another step that can be done is to use an areametric method on the buildings with Census data to obtain a population estimate proxy.
