This visualization displays world city population data as scaled circles on a natural Earth projection. The React app combines D3’s `geoNaturalEarth1` projection, `geoPath`, and `geoGraticule` to render landmasses, country interiors, and graticules, while `scaleSqrt` maps population values to circle radii. Data comes from a preprocessed world cities CSV, with city coordinates projected via D3’s `projection` function to position each semi-transparent point.
