Mapping The World's Urban Populations

The Urban Age projection brings together 10 years of inquiry into the hereafter of cities but about the world. In partnership amongst the Deutsche Bank's Alfred Herrhausen Society, the London School of Economics has been researching the various spatial, social, economical too political dynamics of global cities since 2005.

The Urban Age Project brings together all this inquiry too provides access to information too information visualizations nigh cities but about the world. If you lot desire to starting fourth dimension exploring this information yourself too then a practiced house to starting fourth dimension is the Populations of the Largest Urban Agglomerations interactive map. The map shows the world's most populated cities too their predicted population increment over the side past times side 15 years.

Interestingly this interactive map doesn't truly include a base of operations map layer. However the information plots of the world's largest cities themselves is plenty to render a recognizable the world map. The cities are represented on the map past times proportional circles, amongst the circles scaled past times urban population size. The circles are colored to demonstrate the forecast increment of cites from 2012-2030 (dark carmine indicates the fastest forecast growth).

Once you've studied the interactive map it is worth exploring to a greater extent than of the LSE's Urban Age project. The projection includes many other static maps exploring urban populations but about the world. These include a map showing decline & increment inwards High German urban populations (almost every metropolis inwards East Deutschland is experiencing decline), residential density inwards New York too the ethnic minority population of London.

These 3 maps are but a little sample. Urban Age contains hundreds of other maps & other types of information visualization exploring metropolis populations but about the world.
