"The Urban Observatory city comparison app enables you to explore the living fabric of great cities by browsing a variety of cities and themes."

Tony Hall's insight:
This is really very cool. The ability to compare urban areas allover the world is brilliant. I can see lots of discussions generated by this.

"

Earth is changing rapidly, and an increasing number of scientists say that humans have become the dominant force driving these changes. While the term has no formal definition, many agree that we are now living in an age shaped by human activity: the Anthropocene.

Evidence for the Anthropocene ranges from worldwide population booms to the expansive transformation of the landscape. But solutions are cropping up at the local level that could help create a more resilient global community."

Well duh...we are very greedy leeches that don't want to take the time to restore and repair what we take and destroy...

Excellent use of an Esri Storymap to outline how humans have changed Earth over time.
