First Missing Maps mapathon in the Prešov Region — making invisible communities visible

Prešov Self-Governing Region · World Bank · University of Prešov · 2020

In 2020, we organised the first ever Missing Maps mapathon at the Prešov Region offices — a landmark event mapping marginalized Roma settlements that had never appeared in any official dataset. Working with geography students and experts from Prešov University, our team conducted field surveys in six pilot municipalities, digitizing building footprints and conditions directly into OpenStreetMap.
