description "Spatio-temporal map indicating the relative positions of variuos European cities. Unlike a conventional map which charts distance, such a map indicates the relative location according to travel time. With the development of the European high speed rail network (speeds in excess of 300kph) the city of London will in the future, for example, gravitate by 'moving closer' (in terms of travel time) to the dense uber-urbanisms of Northern Europe; The Randstad, Flanders and the Ruhrgebeit pulling the United Kingdon apart as this projection shows."
