This project delves into the complexities of map projections and their significance in understanding human migration. It reviews key concepts from Chapter 2 of "Diversity Amid Globalization" (4th edition) by Rowntree et al., focusing on population movements, both voluntary and forced, such as refugees. Through figures showcasing globalization, diversity, and geopolitical frameworks, the project highlights push-pull factors affecting migration patterns. Additionally, it discusses the challenges cartographers face in representing Earth's surface accurately, emphasizing the balance between equivalence and conformality in map design.

Maps • What is a map? • A map is a representation of the surface of the earth. • At its best, a map will always fail to tell the whole story. • Maps show distance, direction, size, and shape. • Almost always have a special purpose, or theme.
Map Projections • How to transfer data from a roughly spherical object to a flat sheet of paper has puzzled and challenged cartographers for centuries. • Major Dilemma: Equivalence vs. Conformality • Equivalent projection – equal area • Conformal projection – proper angular relationships • Every map projection is a compromise!
Map Projections • Do you prefer a conformal or equivalent map projection? Why? Which is “more accurate”? Equivalent Conformal
