Spatial Agent 5.1.6

Learn more about the planet, people, prosperity, and infrastructure in a new digital asset! A true spatial treat! A great way to explore the growing world of free, multi-sectoral, public-domain development data, cloud analytics, and visualization at your fingertips!

This innovative app has been significantly refreshed by the World Bank as part of an evolving Livable Planet Observatory to improve awareness of a growing world of freely accessible data and analytics relevant to development. Although challenges persist in accessing development data, there are opportunities to leverage data collected globally, from earth observation, and generated by models to provide useful insights. This app draws from the hard work of many countries, agencies, and individuals over the years to make data more organized and accessible as free online services providing insights for any location globally. A new world of cloud analytics and visualization has also enabled access to powerful exploration of complex data. This "Spatial Agent" mobile app update leverages these new capabilities to visualize a growing range of spatial and temporal perspectives on development-related data on iPhones or iPads.

Zoom into any part of the world and explore a range of amazing datasets and perform analytics in seconds! For example:

• What parts of the Amazon are being threatened by recent deforestation?
• How have China's greenhouse gas emissions changed in the last decade compared to India?
• How have urban areas grown in Malawi's capital Lilongwe in recent decades?
• What is the youth population of the Volta Basin and how is it distributed?
• Where are the buildings (delineated by AI) on the river islands (Chars) in Bangladesh?
• Can I see satellite data from the last week for my area of interest?
• Can I explore all key digital, transport, and energy assets for the entire world?
• What projects is the Bank financing in my country?

You can do all this and much more with this version of Spatial Agent! Install the app and try it out!
