The Gall-Peters map was created to provide a more accurate representation of the sizes of landmasses on Earth, particularly in relation to one another. Developed by Arno Peters in the 1970s, it aimed to address the distortions present in the widely used Mercator projection, which exaggerates the size of regions near the poles. The Gall-Peters projection preserves area, making it a more equitable representation of countries and continents, which has led to discussions about the implications of map projections on perceptions of geography and power.
