Assemble 2–4 turning points — sourced policy stories, global events, or algorithmically-detected bends — and read what they share. Every point traces back to its Data360 indicator.
Pick up to four economies. Each cell is verifiable against its WDI indicator on Data360.
Your environment shapes your brain more than you think.
Enter your city to discover how where you live affects your brain's biological age.
Immersive scrollytelling built on real Google Earth Engine satellite data, paired with original aerial photography.
Unequal World is a living atlas of global inequality that holds three things as equals: original Unequal Scenes aerial photography, frontier neuroscience on how environments shape brain aging, and authoritative global data. The ambition is one place to see, compare and verify how unequal the world has become, and to feel it.
The photography is Johnny Miller's Unequal Scenes: the aerial archive that makes spatial inequality impossible to look away from, here geolocated to the cities and the data it portrays. The science is Brain age, our estimate of how a place's environment (air, water, green space, inequality, infrastructure) is associated with accelerated brain aging, grounded in Legaz et al. (2026, Nature Medicine) and developed as a research collaboration (not a formal endorsement). It is a directional, population-level index, not a diagnosis; the full disclaimer and institutional partners are set out on the Methodology page.
The data is drawn from the World Bank (Data360 / WDI), IMF and UNICEF, ESA and NASA satellites, and national census offices across 20 countries; every country indicator is geolocated, time-aware, and one click from its authoritative source. On top of it we build city-level maps ourselves: 100 m "development burden" grids and 1930s redlining boundaries laid over today's census income. The whole platform was built end-to-end with AI.
Data360 organises its thousands of indicators into five areas. Our tabs map directly onto them, so the platform reads as a focused lens on the World Bank's own taxonomy:
Every value is tiered so you know what you are reading: measured data is shown as-is and source-linked, anything we derive (the development-burden composite, Brain age) is labelled derived, and known measurement artifacts are flagged or suppressed rather than shown as events.
The tier system, the comparability rules, the burden formula, satellite biases and every known limitation are documented on the Methodology page.
