Abstract

This dataset represents the difference between planned and unplanned areas of the city as an indication of urban deprivation. Areas with higher levels of morphological informality are related to more deprived areas.Produced as part of the IDEAMAPS Data Ecosystem project, the work was supported, in whole or in part, by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation INV-045252.
