This research project was developed as part of GEO878 Geovisualisation at the University of Zurich in the spring semester 2021. The aim of the course was to develop an interactive application of maps and geographical information in a web context. The research question was part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The implementation was done with ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Web, where two dashboards were created.
