Hi All,
I think my last email was not clear.
I am from Nepal and we do not have standard address system (let alone
online) .I want to know how this problem can be solved and how the same
problem has been solved in other developing countries. Perhaps some must be
working for it.
I am researching
When I was in Bangladesh there was a similar problem: 'how to tell other
people where i live'. Some people in one of the bigger slums in Dhaka said
it would already be a big step to just have proper streetnames and then
work from there...
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

That is the problem we have in our place. We do not get mails or letters in
our home because our home cannot be identified. If somehow identified it
cannot navigated and reached. We can't receive the mails and letters let
alone any other benefits of having proper address system.
Cheers!
@Ben: what are the actions taken or being taken in Bangladesh. If the
Government is too slow( in most of the countries like in Nepal, Government
does not even move) to do the job of assigning the proper addresses then
what are other actions that can be taken so that people can tell where
they

I'm not sure that the OSM mailing lists is the right place to discuss
such things. First, create an address system in
Hi Bimal,
I'm still not sure what you search for.
As far as I know and as far as I understand the problem you refer to,
OSM as a whole is not searching for solutions.
OSM is not defining addresses, but collecting addresses with their
correspondent location.
For some countries, everywhere where
Hi Peter,
I understand that OSM as a whole does not define the address system. But I
am taking help from our community members to find out about organizations
or professionals or start ups who are working on this problem so that I can

That is something that worked very will in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Showing the

The mail raises an interesting issue. For developing nations like Nepal,
waiting for local administration to start mapping and give names to the
streets take quite a long time.
I would be interested to know if someone has an alternative solution that
is modern enough (digital) independent of
Hi Bimal
The problem you've raised is something I have faced almost everywhere I
work. As the paper that you
citedhttp://www.upu.int/fileadmin/documentsFiles/activities/addressingAssistance/paperAddressingAddressingTheWorldAnAddressForEveryoneEn.pdf
and
the LA Times Article
Korea recently (about 5 years ago) moved from a block-based address
system (like Japan has), to a street-name based system, such as the UK
and US have. Streets and roads across the entire country were named
(most didn't have a name), new street signs were installed and new
house number plaques
Hi Matt,
