<p>Setting up a Motion Chart was somewhat challenging because the layout of the raw data has exacting requirements in terms of
 
the use of the columns and how the different columns will be used in the resulting visualization; finding the right variables to plot under
 
these parameters can take some time.  Once an appropriate data set is found and formatted, however, the resulting visualization can be very interesting.</p>
 
 
<p>The initial state of this visualization plots the rate of urban population growth (Y-axis) against the urban percentage of the population (X-axis) for certain
 
regions of the world as defined by the World Bank.  Each region has a unique color, and the size of the region's plotted circle
 
is proportional to the region's population density.</p>
 
 
<p>The overall trend revealed by playing through the visualization suggests that as the urban fraction of the population increases
 
(the bubbles travel to the right), the rate of urban population growth decreases (the bubbles travel downwards).  This perhaps makes
 
sense if one considers a scenario in which urban centers become unable to handle larger influxes of people as they
 
grow larger and larger.  However, an alternative scenario could be possible in which the increased urban population experiences
 
rapid growth, thereby increasing the urban growth rate; this is not what is shown here.</p>
 
 
<p>In terms of individual regions, North America starts out in 1961 already heavily urbanized, and its growth therefore
 
is relatively modest;  in contrast, Latin America experiences a huge increase in urban population over the course of 48 years.</p>
 
 
<p>Interestingly, the most densely-populated region (largest bubble, South Asia) also has the lowest urban population.<br/>

1 Aim and scope of the Knowledge Platform

The Knowledge Platform will ensure sustainability, dissemination and appropriate capitalization of project outputs and results across the SEE area, as well as in the networks that the project will establish exchanges with.

1.1 The main purpose of the Knowledge Platform is:

  • a user-friendly configuration of SEE data on the population, migration flows and labour markets
  • methodologies developed by the project, and the forecasts and outcome scenarios developed with such methodologies



1.2 Input, Materials and Templates

Countries of project partners

1.3 Results
