Refactor UI components for people management by introducing tabbed navigation between map and people views. Enhance styling for better layout and responsiveness, ensuring a clear distinction between the two panels. Update localization strings to include new titles for the people tab. Improve the people panel functionality to support selection events, allowing for a seamless user experience when inspecting individuals. Revise related styles to maintain consistency across the UI.
