Europe's Population Mountains

Topi Tjukanov has discovered how to hand the Netherlands mountains. The response is to plough population information into elevation. If y'all produce that thus the densely populated Netherlands becomes a mountaineer's dream of climbing heaven.

Topi Tjukanov's 3D Global Human Settlement is a threejs powered mapped visualization of European population data, inwards which population is expressed equally elevation. The higher the population the higher the elevation on the map.

While the Netherlands is ane of the most densely populated countries inwards Europe its cities aren't amid Europe's most populated urban centers. Istanbul is the metropolis that towers over this map. With a population of some 14.7 ane G k residents Istanbul is Europe's most populous city. Moscow is the side past times side most populated metropolis inwards Europe amongst some xiii ane G k residents.


You tin explore a 3D map of America on Mapbox's Population Density Inspector. This interactive map visualizes the population density of each census block equally a 3D tower.

The Population Density Inspector allows y'all to explore the position out of people living inwards each census block inwards America. The overstep of each census block on the map represents the population density (based on census block population counts). You tin read nearly how Mapbox created the map (with a picayune help from Turf.js together with Tippecanoe) on the Mapbox blog.
