You can explore the global skyscrapers showing distributions for all countries between 1980 and 2020, or you can build your own skyscrapers for years and countries of your choice.

In this simulation, you can see how a virus spreads across a population over time, and its associated effects on the economy and income inequality. You can compare the outcomes under two different scenarios: no virus mitigation measures, and social distancing.
Please note that due to technical reasons, this visualisation performs best in small teaching contexts, for example, a seminar of 20 people.
