Do you know of a map projection that visualizes global interconnectivity? – January 30, 2020 at 07:40AM

I’m a student-researcher who’s trying to discover if there are alternative cartographic projections that better help communicate global interconnectivity.

My interest is due to the recent n-coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan and mainland China. Some of us feel that geographical maps don’t properly convey the interconnectivity of metropolitan hubs.

The number of international travelers has nearly doubled over the last decade. In a map that accurately represents this reality, a person living in New York or Toronto is closer to Beijing than to the American Midwest.

What map projection techniques would help visualize global interconnectivity?

Thanks!
