Worldmapper is an evolving collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest. A collaborative project between researchers at the Universities of Sheffield and Michigan, Worldmapper starkly illustrates the various inequalities of our modern world. For example, toy exports (top) vs. toy imports (bottom). More maps — such as those covering death, disease, violence and exploitation are being produced for the site. Expect to see them in The Economist or Independent very soon.
