Brian Teeman discusses addressing systems around the world. In some countries like Mongolia, reliable street names do not exist, so What3Words was created to assign every 3m x 3m square area a unique combination of 3 words. Costa Rica struggled with $720m in lost mail due to inconsistent addressing until recently adding street names and numbers. Japan uses a complex house number and name system. The presentation emphasizes that addressing systems should make it easy for people to provide their correct address rather than forcing addresses into predefined fields.
