Atlas of the Changing World

When history accelerates, the need for geography as a tool to nourish understanding returns. We live in a time marked by innovations that transform the world, the nation, and the city in which we live—at an unprecedented speed. Hence, the need to present maps that describe the multiplying conflicts and show how the United States, Russia, China, and Europe interpret the present differently. Maps, ancient yet ever-relevant tools, allow us to explore the pressing issues of our time. Inequalities, gender disparities, migrant flows, and climate change are phenomena that introduce new types of risks, and challenge what we think we know, forcing us to study further. Exploring surprising realities enables us to break through taboos and prejudices, opens unforeseen spaces for knowledge, and creates new opportunities. However, to succeed, we must rely on the most powerful force of all, the free will, which gives us the courage to dare.
