Cartographic Visualization

Cartographic visualization refers to the practice of creating maps to communicate geographic information visually. It combines data with design to highlight patterns, trends, and relationships within spatial information. By using various colors, symbols, and styles, cartographic visualizations make complex data more accessible and understandable, helping people grasp information like population distribution, climate changes, or transportation networks at a glance. These maps can serve various purposes, from aiding navigation to supporting decision-making in fields such as urban planning, environmental studies, and emergency management. Ultimately, they transform raw data into an intuitive visual format.
