Urban Density Comparisons – Per Square Mile – Tim de Chant

This visualisation offers insight into how urban densities can be compared and contrasted with regards to how much area they would take if the total human population lived according to a particular city’s density. It gives good indications of the processes of urban sprawl, urbanisation, as well as the expansion of the rural-urban fringe. A thought provoking creation!

UCL’s Oliver O’Brien has created an easy to use, informative and interesting map of the tube stops in London, correlating them with the (second) languages spoken by residents in that area. This very informative resource can be helpful in discussions about urban planning, ethnic patterns, and socioeconomic distributions in cities.
