3 years ago I got inspired by a very interesting figure published on a paper by @gboeing called Urban spatial order: street network orientation, configuration, and entropy
This figure represents the distribution of the orientation of every major street of a city.
I like how it gives a quick representation of each city's layout and how evident are the various levels of entropy.
Shortly after seeing this chart I immediately thought of replicating this view but for airports' traffic worldwide.
This repository is using two major open-source datasets:
-
The airlines routes data comes from @jpatokal's OpenFlights repository
-
The airports data is from @davidmegginson's OurAirports repository
