Beautiful map of travel time to global cities

January 10th, 2009 • Africa, Resources

The EC’s Global Environment Monitoring in collaboration with the World Bank have produced this amazing map of travel times between cities around the globe. I found it fascinating to look at to see where wilderness still remains and to imagine what impact this must have on the ability of trade to take place. Notice how bright and integrated Europe, India and the USA is, versus the splotchy connections across Africa.
