The year 2023 was marked by significant advancements in the geo data stack, with bigger datasets, more advanced analytics, and greater transparency. CARTO has showcased some impressive maps and visualizations created with its platform, including spatial analysis of vehicle collisions, cannibalization analysis, and flood risk mapping across Britain. Other notable examples include photorealistic 3D mapping, bivariate maps that show the interplay between population and elevation, and interactive dashboards for analyzing human mobility data and Citi Bike trips. The platform has also enabled users to create their own visualizations using SQL parameters, which allows them to adapt the analysis in real-time and engage stakeholders. These examples demonstrate the power of geospatial analysis and visualization, and how CARTO is democratizing access to spatial data science capabilities.
