Data Vis Dispatch, July 22: Energy transition, construction, and China
Welcome back to the 202nd edition of Data Vis Dispatch! Every week, we’ll be publishing a collection of the best small and large data visualizations we find, especially from news organizations — to celebrate data journalism, data visualization, simple charts, elaborate maps, and their creators.
Recurring topics this week include the energy transition, construction, and China.
This week, we'll start with a closer look at China, with visualizations covering clean energy, cars, and the country's growing love of durian.
Next up, more good news from the energy sector: the rise of electrification and solar power.
Construction, on the other hand, is not only hard to decarbonize but can also be expensive and lengthy.
Two maps take us to the United States to explore its network of detention centers and changing weather patterns.
Ukraine has been facing increasingly effective drone attacks, as well as gaps in its criminal justice system.
German salaries are rising faster than inflation, while inflation in Hungary isn't as bad as it seems.
Other visualizations of the week cover the headline history of Singapore, bus routes in Thailand, and how we spend our days.
