This visualization displays a world map of cities, with each city represented by a small dot positioned according to its geographic coordinates. It highlights the global distribution of populated places, using a Natural Earth projection to render continents and a graticule for reference. The code loads GeoJSON country boundaries via TopoJSON and city data from a CSV, then uses D3’s geoNaturalEarth1, geoPath, and geoGraticule to project and draw the features. Circles are plotted with a radius of 0.2 pixels, while the outline path frames the projection.
