Dear esteemed members of the scientific community,

I am aiming for developing research questions regarding potential relationships between "OpenStreetMap (OSM)" and "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ". I am looking at a highly cross-disciplinary perspective. Therefore, inviting you all to drop interesting thoughts/ideas that come to your mind.

Some potential questions that arose in my mind include:

  • Does open geospatial data such as OSM play a role in achieving SDGs? If yes, then what are potential linkages?
  • Can OSM be adopted by developing nations for fueling progress towards SDGs? If yes, then what aspects should be quantified or discussed?
  • Besides OSM, what are the synergies and tradeoffs between volunteered geographic information (VGI) and SDGs?
  • Please comment below your ideas regarding the role of OSM for SDGs.

    Thank you.
