This illustration, created by Terence Teo, represents the population density of Kazakhstan 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 Kazakhstan shows the different population peaks, with very few regions accounting for almost the entire population. Among them, the areas around the country's major cities stand out, such as Almaty (former capital), Astana (current capital), Shymkent, Karaganda and Aktobe.
