Mapping Proportional Geographical Data
Reading a blog post by Jon Udell just now - Visual numeracy for collective survival - I came across this question: What do you call th[e] kind of [map] projection, where country size is proportional to a variable? What do you call something like this, for example?Understanding the Transformation of the Prospects of Places Full project report (2.6MB PDF) Introduction
Understanding the Transformation of the Prospects of Place
The Atlas of the Real World
The Atlas of the Real World uses software to depict the nations of the world, not by their physical size, but by their demographic importance on a range of subjects. Here, we select a series of travel- and news-related maps. Land area The size of each territory represents exactly its land area in proportion to that of the others, giving a strikingly different perspective from the Mercator projection most commonly used.

A few years ago a group of educators from BC, Canada set out to try to get an objective look at the state of the world. We wanted The Big Picture , not just this or that issue, but the most essential points of every important issue. The Executive Summary of the state of the planet. This web site is the result of that search. The site (and the accompanying wall chart ) are here to show you - in as clear, objective, and accessible a format as possible - the condition of the world -- both its natural and human elements. Use this site to view the data , check out the wall chart , order a copy , or test your knowledge with the Earth Quiz .

Ever since Gerardus Mercator created his iconic map of the world in 1569 --the one that first enabled ships to navigate at sea without getting lost--people have been drawing maps using the same fundamental concept of conveying physical space. Cartographers have gotten more sophisticated over time. They’ve figured out how to distort that space, how to portray that Massachusetts has more electoral votes than Wyoming , or that countries closer to the equator are larger than we think . But for hundreds of years, we’ve been tethered to the idea of looking at the world through the shape of its land. Now that there’s virtually none of that left to explore and discover, it may be time to start thinking about our world in new visual ways: not according to physical space, but to how people are distributed across it, and what their presence can tell us about global poverty, health inequality, environmental impacts, and geopolitics. Take a look at this map of the world:
