Gapminder - Visualizing Human Development

Thursday, July 13, 2006


Visit the Gapminder website

The Stockholm based website Gapminder provides wonderful interactive content visualizations of important global trends. This non-profit provides information from universities, UN organisations, public agencies and non-governmental organizations to graphically show us the state of what's happing in our world. The site looks at 16 different human conditions and plots them by year and by region. Conditions include, urban population, life expectancy, military budget, and 13 other world conditions you should know. Currently, this is the most important content visualization site for consciously minded world citizens. Please visit this site to see what's really going on in the world you life in. Giant hats off to the developers, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund and Hans Rosling!

This is fantastic!  I especially like the option to view the data as either chart or map (a feature I was thinking of adding to an experimental project I’ve been working on).
