@starhubsentertainments: How much of Africa’s true size have we been missing because of the maps we grew up with? For generations, the Mercator projection has shaped how the world visualises the planet, but its distortion can make Africa appear smaller than it really is. Now, the United Nations has backed a resolution encouraging more accurate representations of the world’s continents. Swipe through to see how the map changes, why Africa looks different, and what this could mean for classrooms, publishers and the next generation. What do you think about the way the world has been mapped?
