Global Map of Accessibility by Vizzuality
The Global Map of Accessibility is an interactive map that lets you view the travel time between almost any point on Earth and the nearest population centre of 50,000 or more people. The data comes from a study published in Nature which reported that 80% of the global population lives within one hour of a city. In addition to predicting access to services essential to human wellbeing and development, the map can also be used to identify where the world’s wild places remain untouched by humans.
