To overcome the distortions of Harry Beck's map nosotros could of course of report practice a to a greater extent than geographically accurate map of the Underground. The occupation amongst this nevertheless is that the resulting map is far less legible as well as frankly nowhere virtually every bit beautiful every bit Harry Beck's master map.
Maybe nosotros could skew as well as distort Harry Beck's Underground map to correspond the geography of London. We could take Ben Schmidt's approach to transit maps by stretching, squeezing as well as rotating the London Underground map to align it amongst the underlying geography of the city. However, if you lot get got a hold off at Ben's MTA Map of Actual New York, you lot tin encounter that the upshot 1 time again tends to ruin the aesthetic of the master transit map.
No ... the best as well as entirely solution is to terraform the topography as well as geography of London so that it conforms to a greater extent than accurately to Harry Beck's map. There is the obvious added bonus that afterwards terraforming, London volition besides in conclusion hold upwards suitable for human life. Thankfully Metrography has already created the map of this novel London.
The Metrography Map of London transforms the geography of London so that it to a greater extent than accurately represents the London depicted inwards Harry Beck's London Underground map.
To practice this map Metrography uses the Thames as well as Underground stations from the London Underground Map every bit fixed positions. They as well as so distort the existent geography of London to correspond these fixed positions from Harry Beck's map. The upshot is a London which conforms to the Underground map as well as is hence much easier for everyone to navigate.
Work on the New London terraforming projection begins adjacent week. London Underground apologize inwards advance for whatever disruption you lot may sense during these essential technology scientific discipline works.
