Visualizing Singapore

One dataset at a time

You can follow this presentation at:

Desktop webkit-based browser, powerful android or iOS device: decks.vslashr.com/vizsg3D

IE browsers or slower devices: You're out of luck. Sorry.

Why?

Reason 1

Because in a world deluged by data, data visualizations help us make sense and understand the world better.

Reason 2

Because the way information is presented can be improved, or seen from a different angle.

Reason 3

Because it is more interesting when we look at the world through different lenses.

Mash-ups of different data sources can yield surprising stories and insights.

Future

If viz.sg is made obsolete by data.gov.sg it will have done its job.

In the short-term at least, it is a useful platform for data stories/ apps from the ground-up.
