Spatio-temporal map of Europe (clic to enlarge)Source : ROAM (Reader On the Aesthetics of Mobility)
This map indicates the relative positions of various European cities. Unlike a conventional map which charts distance, such a map indicates the relative location according to travel time. With the development of the European high speed rail network (speeds in excess of 300 km/h) the city of London will in the future, for example, gravitate by "moving closer" (in terms of travel time) to the dense region of Nothern Europe; The Randstad, Flanders and the Ruhrgebeit pulling the UK apart as this projection shows.
