This illustration, created by Terence Teo, represents Belgium's population density on a three-dimensional map. To do this, Terence extracted the data available at Kontur Population with which it generates columns using a programme, with a height that represents the population density at each point.

This map of Belgium shows the total prevalence of the capital, Brussels, and its metropolitan area, which accounts for a quarter of the country's total population. Other major cities that stand out on the map are Antwerp and Ghent in the Flemish part, in the north, and Liège and Charleroi in the Walloon part, in the south.
