Cities are mankind’s most enduring and stable mode of social organization, outlasting all empires and nations over which they have presided. Today cities have become the world’s dominant demographic and economic clusters. As the sociologist Christopher Chase-Dunn has pointed out, it is not population or territorial size that drives world-city status, but economic weight
Tony Hall's insight:
This is a really interesting read to go along Parag Khanna's TED Talk on the same topic. I love the idea that nations could be suburbs of megacities. What a challenging concept to process?!
Scoop.it!
Tony Hall's insight:
This is a great series of articles about some of the world best & least known cities. Definite links to IB Geography Urban Environments. I must confess I have only read one article but I generally find The Guardian's stuff to be pretty good.

Based on the NOAA’s historical tropical storm tracks data, which includes storms dating as far back as 1850, the map above shows a top-down view of every hurricane, cyclone, and typhoon in recorded hi — Map created by Vividmaps in CartoDB
Tony Hall's insight:
This a brilliant map! I love the pattern created by the storm tracks. Especially the empty space around the equator.

What does the world map look like if it is sized to online populations?
Tony Hall's insight:
This is a really interesting visualisation of internet use from 2013. It relates really well to the IB Geography HL unit on Global Interactions.

Huge stresses beneath the surface moved plates of the Earth's crust hundreds of feet horizontally and dozens of feet vertically.

This looks to be a really useful resource for tectonic processes.

The Vietnamese government is facing pressure to lessen the impact of economic development on the once-pristine Ha Long Bay, where visitors are warned not to enter the excrement-laden water.
Tony Hall's insight:
This is so very sad. I was in Ha Long Bay in 2010. It was an amazing place. Not pristine by any stretch, but amazing nonetheless. The article, I think, illustrates the tension between development and exploiting the environment. There need to be a balance between exploitation & conservation. Limits to visitor numbers? Strongly enforced regulation? Who knows?!

This map points out the highly uneven spatial distribution of (geotagged) Wikipedia articles in 44 language versions of the encyclopaedia. Slightly more than half of the global total of 3,336,473 articles are about places, events and people inside the red circle on the map, occupying only about 2.5% of the world’s land area.
Tony Hall's insight:
A very interesting perspective on the distribution of crowdsourcing.

A reflection of language diversity in Europe or a Eurocentric Wikipedia?
Chris Costa's curator insight,
October 7, 2015 2:56 PM
Talk about Eurocentrism. I'm a huge fan of Wikipedia for its value as an informal source of information; if I need to learn about a topic I am not familiar with, Wikipedia is a great place to get a preliminary idea of what I am learning about. It's disappointing to see the distribution of information on the site is so skewed, considering that there are so many other regions of the world with long, rich histories, than just those encompassed within the circle shown in the map. I feel like that is symptomatic of a number of issues currently plaguing western academic circles- we tend to not view the rest of the world as being important, which is not only untrue, it's both insulting and ignorant. I hope this disparity is addressed and corrected over the course of the next couple of years.

A brand new island emerging off the coast of Japan offers scientists a rare opportunity to study how life begins to colonise barren land - helped by rotting bird poo and hatchling vomit.
Tony Hall's insight:
This is awesome! I think it would a very interesting exercise to monitor this island (somehow) to observe the changes that occur over time. What an amazing opportunity!

Tony Hall's insight:
This is very interesting. And it confirms suspicions I have had for the last 6 months or so. I teach quite a lot of Chinese & South Korean kids. Many of them (maybe 50%?) have visited Japan in the last 12 months. Very timely as my first year IB Geographers move into our optional theme on Leisure, Sport & Tourism.

Photographer Andy Yeung used a drone to capture the urban density of Hong Kong - where more than 100,000 people live in 40 square meter apartment - for his project Urban Jungle.

"The Urban Observatory city comparison app enables you to explore the living fabric of great cities by browsing a variety of cities and themes."

This is really very cool. The ability to compare urban areas allover the world is brilliant. I can see lots of discussions generated by this.

These charts show why drastic action is needed to halt the march of silent killer linked to 3.7 million deaths a year.
Tony Hall's insight:
This is a very interesting (if a little worrisome!) article. There is so much geography in it. It has very obvious links to the IB Geo optional theme The Geography of Health & Medicine. I think there are also strong links to the Disparities in Development core topic. There are lots of opportunities for mapping activities based on the data in the article.

Cities are rarely planned with the long-term in mind. As a result, urban living can be socially and environmentally unsustainable. But not always: Nick Sharp has a provocative vision of a city built to last forever.
Tony Hall's insight:
This is a very interesting read. It references Ernst Schumacher's philosophy that "small is beautiful" and that we (society) "cannot consider the problem of technological production solved if it requires that we recklessly erode our finite natural capital and deprive future generations of its benefits." It fits nicely into the IB Geography Urban Environments subtopic The Sustainable City. As read the article, a few things ran through my mind: 1. This is such a good idea! 2. It would take a long time for people from developed countries to buy into it. 3. What would it look like? 4. What can I use to get my learners to explore this

Gansu Province, in northwestern China, is about the same size as California, with a population of about 26 million people. Gansu’s diverse landscapes include parts of the Gobi Desert, the Yellow River, numerous mountain formations, and remnants of the Silk Road and the Great Wall of China.

This is really interesting. You can zoom through time and look at how the Earth has changed in terms of ice sheets, sea levels, temperature and more. There's also an iPad app.

"In some ways, all 2D maps of Earth are interrupted at some point, even if it’s just along the antimeridian at 180°. Interruptions are often in areas of less interest e.g. oceans for a land-focused map."
Tony Hall's insight:
This is really, very cool! A fantastic way to visualise the differences between map projections to illustrate the variation in land shape, land area and land size. Also an excellent discussion starter.

No screenshot could do justice to this animation. It transforms a map of the world from one map projection to another, and in the 5 second interval it 'spins the globe' to give you a sense of the the spatial distortions inherent in all projections. This is but one of the many visualizations fromJason Davies mapping project.
