Cartograms are maps that display a specific variable by using different shading, lines or certain distortions. Unlike a normal map, cartograms use thematic mapping to show things such as population density instead of area or distance over land. Shown above is a map that conveys the amount of people that will move to urban areas until the year 2015. It seems that Russia, China, and India will have the largest percentage of people moving to urban areas over the next couple of years.
