This illustration, created by Terence Teo, represents Brazil'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 Brazil shows the different population peaks, with the south-east region predominating, where three of the country's major urban agglomerations are located: Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte. The illustration also shows other significant peaks in Belém, Fortaleza, Salvador de Bahía, Recife, Manaus and Brasilia, the country's capital.
