UNICEF: An Urban World - Spanish

We partnered with UNICEF to help support the launch of their flagship yearly assessment, the State of the World's Children. The 2012 report

focuses on the inequalities children face in towns and cities around the world.

 

To help visualize this information, we created a map that details the growth of urban populations from 1950 ­ 2050, and allows visitors to explore information for over 100 countries. Visitors can compare total

population figures for the countries and see how much of that is urban.

To help add further context for the report, we developed a Facebook application that allows you to image what it would be like to be growing up as one of these children, as seen through the filter of your own Facebook friends. We extracted a collection of facts from their State of the World's Children report and used Facebook as the metaphor for comparing experiences:
