Love Cartography I still have many old road maps that belonged to my grandfather, including a 50 years old map covering cycling routes in the Netherlands, maps are pieces of art just like any other form of Design and Illustration art. Brilliant nice repotage!

Isn't this has been worked on by Richard Saul Wurman as well? (TED Talks founder). Such data mapping, demography overviews/outlooks potentially could be such a huge blessing if made available more affordably to customers
