IMF Data Mapper

Use the IMF Data Mapper to browse key datasets issued by the International Monetary Fund. Central to this tool are the smooth interaction between map and chart. NEW: a rich bubble chart to compare variables and play them over time.

Humanitarian Response Index

The Humanitarian Response Index 2007 is a new initiative by DARA International. The rich countries are ranked on the quality of their humanitarian aid. Our map helps to visualize the rankings and dishes out the scores on all the component indicators.

KOMEN EN GAAN (COME AND GO)

For the Dutch art space CBK Zuidoost Mapping Worlds designed a new kind of city map. The map displays each separate residence instead of just blocks, providing an image of population density. Each residence with at least one new resident in 2006 is highlighted by a small bearing. All streets have a tag with the number of residences and the number of people settling or leaving in 2006.

The Commitment to Development Index 2007

The Center for Global Development issued its Commitment to Development Index 2007. The renowned CDI ranks 21 of the world's richest countries according to their policies on indicators like aid, trade, migration and security.

Like for the two previous editions, Mapping Worlds provided a map animation to visualize the scores on all indicators. Take a look at the CDI-website to see the countries resize...

Voting power in the United Nations

Copyright Mapping Worlds, 2005.

These redesigned United Nations flags visualize the voting power of each of of the 191 UN Member States. Click on a map to see the larger format.

In the General Assembly all countries have an equal vote. In the rings of both flags, all 191 countries have exactly the same surface area.The archipelagos with small islands are represented by a circle as large as the other countries, embracing the archipelago. The countries are positioned alphabetically, with Afghanistan at 12 o'clock in the smallest ring, followed clockwise by the other countries. Burundi starts the second ring at twelve o'clock, Guatemala the third and Nigeria the largest ring, finishing with Zimbabwe.

The UN Security Council has five permanent seats, each of the countries holding a veto right. In the flag on the left, these five countries (USA, United Kingdom, France, Russian Federation and China) are represented at the center of the circle, in a larger size.

Both maps are available in various languages (in PDF-format). We include any other language if called for. If you are interested in publishing one of these editions, please contact us.

		Like all images, maps are a powerfull communication tool. We design maps to clarify, to form opinions and to appeal. For publication in print or as a dynamic online application.
