Cartographical progress: Economic and social atlas of Greece

Summary

The Economic and Social Atlas of Greece, published in Athens in 1964 by the National Statistical Service, the Centre of Economic Research, and the Social Sciences Centre, aims to systematically present the economic geography and social structure of Greece. The atlas contains 126 maps employing various cartographic techniques (e.g., dot and shading methods, layer tinting for relief and rainfall), covering diverse topics such as population density, education, agriculture, industry, and mineral resources, with trilingual text in Greek, English, and French. It fills a notable gap in Greek geographic studies, serving as a foundation for detailed investigations and an invaluable resource for students of Greek geography.
