Segregated Cities

Below is a map that Eric Fischer created (in which he put on his flickr account) that is quite beautiful and aesthetically pleasing as a piece of art; however, it's a disturbing yet meaningful social and cultural phenomenon. Fischer is considered a digital cartographer in which makes tourist and local maps. The below piece was based off of the 2000 census and marks the racial divisions in American cities. This racial seperation shows that segregation still exists and that this may be a key symptom to continued social problems in various cities. Below is his map of Chicago; however, if you'd like to look at more of his work you could either look at his Flickr account or click on the picture to look at a mini news article on him. His maps are truly gorgeous.
