An interesting argument Iād never been sure on was āare there more people or more buildings in the world?ā Because sure there are lots of buildings that many people live in, but there could easily just as many that no one lives in. If the map number is really accurate then interesting, but likeā¦ how could it be? Have they actually counted every little shed in every field? Every outhouse?
A lot of people donāt have buildings at all. Like, a lot a lot. About 1.6B estimated to be without housing or shelter.
Many families live in one building.
The people that own multiple buildings generally rent them out.
Apartment buildings can house hundreds.
The number seems totally reasonable to me.
I think some are, but for example nomadic cultures or refugees would certainly count as "not living in a building". Also people that travel for work without having a house of their own could potentially fit into that category.
considering that the bar for what a german could call a building from quality perspective is quite highā¦ yeah, I mean, seems like an accurate map: our overpriced sheds hardly quarantine
Then again anything that has a roof, walls, rests and is connected to the ground and which can be entered is a building permit requiring building by definition.
Fairly sure most of Russia are dirty, rocks tree and snow, and some more dirty and rocks. Remember, it's nearly twice as big as the US, with half the population, and most of them live in the smaller western part.
Idk why the article uses such a strange visualization. On their github the map is bette,r but it still doesn't include NZ, I presume because it would make the image too large. The data is still there though, you can look online using this app https://tubvsig-so2sat-vm1.srv.mwn.de/
I have never seen r/MapsWithoutEasternJapan like this before even in geography related subs.
Or what about /r/mapswithouteasternaustralia
Haven't seen many r/mapswithoutalaska either.
It's mostly r/mapswithalaskaabout2000klicksoutofplace.

Oh - Canada š
Truly a dark day to be Canadian
Hobbit holes are not visible from space. Map checks out.
Oh shit. You came here first...

You're telling me that 20% of humanity is just buming around?

It's with the accuracy of 3*3 meters.
Much less detail than google earth, but it might be useful for sensitive information not shown there
where can I get the full resolution pic?

What or where is Russia or Australia
Moscow is very visible, single red dot in that area
Fairly sure most of Russia are dirty, rocks tree and snow, and some more dirty and rocks. Remember, it's nearly twice as big as the US, with half the population, and most of them live in the smaller western part.
No bc they only have hobbit holes there!!
Smh people really missing out on not building in those large grey areas.
Hah! I knew Canada was fakeā¦
They are represented in the map. Look closely at the northern Us border
This project is nothing, some people are doing the exact same thing IN MINECRAFT
WTF happened to Canada
Banished to the shadow realm, the mooses were getting too powerful

Here's a link to the original figure from their github https://github.com/zhu-xlab/GlobalBuildingAtlas/blob/main/figures/overview.png

Crazy how we've got such a round number of buildings
Is that what you took from this? That they rounded to an even number? Alright.

Wait! Whaat! Whaaa! Nzzzz!!! Buzzzz! Where? Wheeehhh? Who am I?
