India's urban share was 35.4%, compared with 80.1% in the United States. Multiplying each country's total population by its urban share gives about 513.3 million urban residents in India and 272.4 million in the US.

The chart covers the ten most populous countries in 2024, ordered by total population. Urban headcounts are derived estimates, and national definitions of 'urban' vary.

I've been working on a project called MeshLens that tries to answer a question I kept running into at work: what does our data mesh actually look like as a system?
Most observability tools give you alerts, row counts, and freshness checks. That's useful, but it never helped me explain to stakeholders how domains connect, where data flows, or what breaks downstream when an upstream connector goes down.
So I built a visualization layer that puts it all in one interactive map.
Curious what you think. If you work with data mesh or data products at scale — what would you want to see in something like this?
