DESCRIPTION:Prof. Andrew TatemUniversity of Southampton\nFramework: Under 
 the ENAC Incentive Program of Urban Dimension / Exploration in Urban Scali
 ng Project\, a series of workshops and lectures toward a scientific view o
 f global urbanization and the built environment.Abstract: high resolution\
 , contemporary data on human population distributions are a prerequisite f
 or the accurate measurement of the impacts of population growth\, for moni
 toring changes and for planning interventions. While a wealth of data on t
 hese factors are now available for high income regions of the world\, ther
 e still remain many gaps in low income regions\, with data on urbanization
 \, population distributions and population mobility often outdated\, coars
 e resolution or lacking. The WorldPop project (www.worldpop.org) works tog
 ether with national health ministries\, statistical offices and internatio
 nal agencies to fill these gaps and produce high resolution contemporary e
 stimates of population distributions and demographics through the integrat
 ion of satellite\, census\, survey and other spatial data. Further\, throu
 gh the Flowminder Foundation (www.flowminder.org)\, recent work has focuss
 ed on the potential for mobile phone data to improve further these estimat
 es and better quantify population density dynamics and movements.
