Interactive Map of Urban Growth

by Barbaree | Nov 29, 2011 | Free Resources, Our Blog

This interactive map from the BBC showing urban growth across the planet uses the Gall-Peters projection.

All flat rectangular maps of the Earth contain some distortion of land size, shape and distance between countries. The Peters Projection minimises the distortion to land area, enabling the best comparison between regional populations and the size of the land masses they live on.
