Question

Can you give me an example of a low-density city?

Answer 1

Take a look at these numbers:



1st number is population, 2nd is area of city (sq.km) and 3rd is density



Mumbai India - 14,350,000...484 ... 29,650



Tokyo Japan - 33,200,000 ... 6,993 ... 4,750 - more people but more land - less density



New York USA - 17,800,000 ... 8,683 ... 2,050



When you compare New York to Mumbai then New York for sure is Low-Density. Even New York compared to Tokyo make New York appear to be Low Density. However if you compare New York to other American Cities then New York may be considered High Density. It is best if you look at the chart and pick a city that you can compare to New York or another well known city.



Go to this site as it has a chart listing 250 world cities. This is where I got the above information. You can then be sure your answer is correct.

Answer 2

Dallas and Oklahoma City are good examples. They both are very large but also have abundant land, which means both cities grow outward rather than upward. In recent years, however, Dallas and Oklahoma City have been seeing projects going up into the sky. Maybe thats a turning point.

Answer 3

Almost all american urban areas are low density when compared with urban areas from other parts of the world. If you only are analyzing US metro areas, go to the source: the US Census.



Here is a map of population per square mile, generated from estimated 2006 population density census data:

CHange to display by county and you'll see patterns of population density.
