Sized Points on a Map
This visualization displays a world map with cities of populations exceeding 50,000, using sized points to represent population magnitude. Natural Earth projection via `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath` render landmasses, graticules, and country interiors from TopoJSON data. Circles are positioned through projection of latitude and longitude coordinates, with radius determined by a square-root scale (`d3.scaleSqrt`) mapping population values to a maximum radius of 15 pixels. The React-based implementation loads city data from a CSV using `d3.csv` and renders all elements as SVG marks.
