The Pudding has released a actually interesting mapped visualization of the world's population. Their Human Terrain interactive map shows population density across the globe using 3D population pyramids. The taller a pyramid block on The Pudding map thus the to a greater extent than people are living there.
The purpose of population pyramids is a good used as well as visually dramatic agency to demo population density. Foe illustration The Pudding's map is rattling like to a WebGL powered map that Topi Tjukanov released before this twelvemonth to demo the density of Europe's population.
While existence visually dramatic population pyramids produce convey closed to problems. Duncan Smith's interactive of World Population Density map mightiness non hold upwardly equally visually dramatic equally The Pudding's map but it is a lot clearer to read. If yous compare the 2 map screenshots used inwards this postal service the bottom map is much easier to read both equally a map as well as equally a information visualization. The tilted oblique thought inwards The Pudding Map distorts the geography of the map, foreshortening distances the farther yous movement north. While the tall 3D towers on the map for densely populated cities obscure the information for the locations forthwith to their north.
The Pudding's Map is even thus a rattling interesting map. In item the powerfulness to compare historical as well as introduce 24-hour interval population density side-by-side provides a fascinating thought into population alter across the globe.
Another interactive map which shows worldwide population information is the SEDAC Population Estimator (GPWv4). This interactive map uses NASA's public Observing System Data as well as Information System (EOSDIS) information to demo where the world's population lives. The SEDAC Population Estimator map includes a actually useful tool which allows yous to line a custom surface area on the map to run across an justice of the population that lives inwards your selected area.
