Grid cartograms

Work

This work was realized for my own interests and curiosity .

In 2018, I was fascinated by grid cartograms, and I wrote a review about them in an Observable notebook. It has been one of the most popular among my notebooks.

In 2025, I took another look at them, before the general elections in Bolivia.

I then decided to publish a repository on GitHub, named data-grid-cartograms, to share grid cartograms in a data format. It contains grid cartograms for France, the US, Bolivia, Italy, Africa and the world.
