In the process of physical planning, scale comparision is a common tool to help visualize how big a space is or the length of a road. Reference points are based on known factors. Depending on the scale of the object to be compared, I like to use cars, football fields and walking roads or developments my audience will know in making comparisions. Rarely do you find scale comparisions that convert from economic scale to physical scale, but this recent one of the US debt I found was very eye opening and worth having a look. Enjoy.

This is a great graphic. I can imagine how many millions of dollars it cost to just print and creat this money.
