THE DEPRIMAP PROJECT
Welcome to the DEPRIMAP Project, a research initiative aimed at addressing the pressing challenges faced by deprived urban areas (DUAs) in the Majority World (MW). As rapid urbanization continues to shape our global landscape, millions
of people are living in environments that are highly vulnerable to a range of socio-economic and environmental risks. DEPRIMAP is dedicated to understanding and mitigating these risks through cutting-edge research, advanced geospatial
technologies, and active collaboration with local communities and global stakeholders.
Explore Our Work
Our project is divided into several key areas,each focusing on different aspects of urban deprivation and resilience. Below, you will find detailed information about the project’s background, objectives, and implementation plan, as
well as our thematic work packages, which guide our research efforts.
