Genius Maps Show How Manhattan Has Become A Garish Center Of Wealth
Lamm grabbed a map of net worth in New York City and made a 3 dimensional representation of how wealthy some areas are.
Lamm's goal is to show the profound extent of income inequality in Manhattan, and it couldn't get more jarring.
The height of the green buildings corresponds to the net worth in the area.
Some neighborhoods literally loom over the rest of the city, while others sit low in their literal shadows.
It's a jarring look and a startling effective visualization.
Each image, for reference, has a before and after look at certain perspectives of Manhattan.
