This visualization displays global cities as sized points on a natural Earth projection map, with circle radii scaled proportionally to population using d3.scaleSqrt. The map renders landmasses, graticules, and country interiors as SVG paths generated via d3.geoPath, while city positions are projected from longitude and latitude coordinates. The React component loads world atlas TopoJSON and city CSV data asynchronously, then applies semi-transparent teal circles to highlight population distribution across continents.
