The anamorphisis proposed by the Cité de l'économie
will show you the world in a way you may have never seen it.

Select the indicator of your choice at the top left of the screen
and then click on the 'Run the animation' button.

The surface of each country on the map then becomes proportional to the chosen indicator.
Thus, two countries that have the same value for this indicator
will have the same surface after transformation.

For some indicators, you can follow the evolution of the map over time by clicking the ► button that appears at the bottom left of the map.

The indicator currently selected is:

This indicator gives an estimate of the number of people with TB.
In 2013, this figure stood at just under 9 million, representing around 0.15% of the world's population.
Six out of 10 cases of TB were recorded in Asia, 3 out of 10 cases in Africa and 1 case out of 20 in North America and Europe. India is the country with the largest number of people suffering from this disease: just over 2 people with TB out of 10 are Indian, which is 7 times more than all of the developed countries put together. It is followed by China, Nigeria, Pakistan and Indonesia. Thus, over half of all cases of TB are recorded in 5 countries.
African countries, India and China record the largest number of TB cases worldwide.   Find out more
