Titles should start with level 2.

| The aim here is twofold. First, to recreate the graphic as faithfully as possible using only R and openly available data. Second, to build a fully transparent and reproducible workflow that covers the entire pipeline: data retrieval, cleaning, transformation, visualization, and final layout. The final figure is generated entirely from scratch using tidyverse tools, ggplot2, sf, and related packages. Every element—scatterplot, ridge-density panels, world map, annotation blocks, and the overall layout—is constructed through a structured sequence of steps designed to balance precision, clarity, and readability. | ||

We want to avoid ggsave. Instead, let the chunk output the image with the proper fig.width and fig.height, as discussed in class.
