About this work

A data volume on demography, energy and urbanisation — the numbers behind the next two decades, with sources published alongside every chart.

Every volume in the Proof Layer is published with its sources, its photographers and its researchers credited. Where a claim rests on a contested or provisional figure, that is stated in the text rather than left to the reader to discover.
