30 maps showing where most people live “Attempted murder” of daughter in Brugg AG: Prosecutor demands 19 3/4 years

Everyone in this country knows the topographic map of Switzerland. From an early age they are shown to us: in the northwest of the Jura, then the Mittelland and finally the mountain range of the Alps. But what would our country look like if not the sea level, but the population were considered an upward movement?

Twitter user “Terence Fosstodon” has packed Switzerland into a 3D map based on population density using the open source software Rayshader and shared it on the social media platform. The result is to be expected, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting. The large cities and agglomerations protrude like mountain peaks from the “plain” consisting of the Alps and the Jura.
