The World's Population Pyramids

Earlier this twelvemonth The Pudding created an impressive interactive map which visualized the world's population inwards 3D. The Pudding's Human Terrain interactive map shows population density across the globe using 3D population pyramids. The taller a pyramid block on The Pudding map too thus the to a greater extent than people alive there.

The Pudding has at in i lawsuit used its ain map to explore inwards to a greater extent than item the blueprint of population density roughly the world. In Population Mountains The Pudding examines how unevenly the public is populated too how population density tin plow over notice possess got dissimilar forms inwards dissimilar parts of the world.

For example The Pudding compares the pyramid population maps of some European cities to Kinshasa, DRC. In Kinshasa pitiful transportation infrastructure has led to a densely populated urban substance center, whereas European cities tend to possess got less densely populated centers too to a greater extent than densely populated suburbs. Because of pitiful transportation inwards Kinshasa the population pyramids inwards the urban substance pump autumn sharply away, piece inwards European cities at that spot tends to live on a to a greater extent than gradual gradient from the pump away into the suburbs.

If yous don't similar The Pudding's 3D visualization of the world's population too thus yous powerfulness prefer the SEDAC Population Estimator (GPWv4). This interactive map uses NASA's public Observing System Data too Information System (EOSDIS) information to present where the world's population lives. The SEDAC Population Estimator map includes a tool to depict an surface area on the map to sentiment an approximate of the population that alive there.
