A True Picture of Population Density
Je référence cette intéressante exploration visuelle d’un truc toujours très difficile à représenter en carto : la forte densité/concentration sur un territoire réduit versus la faible densité/concentration sur un territoire large.
Look up a city’s urban density on Wikipedia, and you know you’re only getting a small slice of the story. There’s no way exactly 27,857.9 people live in every square mile of New York City – some areas are far more packed, some are relatively empty (at least when it comes to living space). Perhaps the best way to get a true picture of where people live is to check out the residential density per square kilometer. That’s what these 3D maps from LSECities visualize, giving us a unique look at 9 world cities and their distribution of people. Each map here looks at a 100 x 100 kilometer square, and quickly reveals how factors like topography and the location of public...
