Hi Mike,
It is really generally true, but in dense urban areas often the
buildings do share a wall. Hopefully we can get some feedback from the
folks in Dar as to what is typical in that environment.
One of the things that make dense urban mapping a challenge.
Cheers,
Blake

I think I found my answer, it was in the instructions for a different
project (http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1537):
"Many buildings are very close, but do not actually touch each other,
try to map them close to each other without letting them connect or
share nodes with each other, roads or residential area outlines."
I had the wrong project, but should the above guidance to almost all
projects?

I am refining my training for tomorrow's humanitarian mapathon at
the University of Wyoming where we will be mapping in Dar es Salaam
(#1446). I recall reading somewhere that we shouldn't "connect"
buildings (i.e. two buildings sharing one or more nodes) unless we
are certain that they are connected in reality (since we are doing
armchair mapping, we would seldom know this). This makes sense to
me, but I want to sure this is the official guidance (and be able to
cite that guidance). Can anyone point me to where that is documented?
Mike
