This visualization displays global population growth from 1960 to 2015, using an area chart with a smoothed basis curve to show population values in billions over time. The D3 v5 code loads CSV data, scales the x-axis with `scaleTime` and the y-axis with `scaleLinear`, and renders an SVG path via the `area` generator. Axis labels and gridlines are added using `axisBottom` and `axisLeft`, with population values formatted using D3’s `format` function.
