The High German Aerospace Center (DLR) has released an interactive globe which visualizes human settlements around the world. The Global Urban Footprint map shows the global distribution of the human population on a custom made WebGL globe.
The Global Urban Footprint globe was made yesteryear analyzing satellite imagery of the Earth. The globe uses alone 3 colors: dark for urban areas, white for province surfaces as well as grayness for water. The trial is that urban settlements are much to a greater extent than visible on the interactive globe.
It is possible to zoom inwards on the map to some extent yesteryear using your mouse's scroll wheel. However the map doesn't bring a swell score of resolution. You tin sentiment higher resolution images of a position out of global cities on the Global Urban Footprint about page.
