This project analyzes poverty resilience along Tanzania's BRI corridors using open-source geospatial data. It includes GEE scripts for data pre-processing, Python scripts for spatial modeling and visualization, and a synthetic dataset for reproducibility. The focus is on infrastructure-climate interaction
