This illustration, created by Terence Teo, The population density of Bangladesh is depicted on a three-dimensional map. To do this, Terence has extracted the data available at Kontur Population with which it generates, by means of a programme, columns with a height representing the population density at each point.

This map of Bangladesh shows the various population peaks, with the urban area of Dhaka, the capital, in the centre of the country, dominating by far. There are also major peaks in Chitagon, Khulna, Sylhet and many smaller peaks throughout the country.
