Example text
What both maps also highlight is how little land the majority of the population occupy. In the next few pages the relationship between the people and the land is explored. Here an alternative method is used to show another way of looking at the basic distribution of people across the land. 1 almost 2000 “squares” cover the land area of Britain in a grid. The lines of this grid are curved so that each “square” contains the same number of people (Dorling 1993). Large cities pull the net inwards. Smaller ones, such as Norwich, can also be seen to have an effect.
Districts vary greatly in population. Like the ward cartograms in this atlas, every area is proportional to the size of its population. The district cartogram is used repeatedly in the atlas, partly because many of these cartograms can be placed on one page. For instance, it is used to show where people born in different parts of the world live in Britain on page 55 by drawing a cartogram for each group and to show how levels of unemployment changed over sixteen years using fifteen cartograms on page 97.
Colour Print B is a ward population cartogram where each ward is shown as a circle of size in proportion to its population. The cartogram would be of little use if most of these circles overlapped, so in making the cartogram a map is first drawn with circles so small that none overlap and all these circles are placed at the centres of wards on a land map. The circles are then allowed to expand slowly, and if they touch they push each other out of the way. The shape of the map becomes distorted, but it is still possible to draw county boundaries, districts, towns and villages upon it.
