Points on the map original
This visualization displays a world map with circles representing cities having populations greater than 50,000, with circle size scaled by population using a square root scale. The map includes landmasses, graticules, and sphere outlines rendered as SVG paths projected via `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath`. Country boundaries come from the World Atlas TopoJSON, while city data originates from Simplemaps. Circles are semi-transparent teal, with opacity allowing overlap visualization. The code uses React with `d3.csv` for city data loading and `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` for geographical features.
