Urban Density Comparisons – Per Square Mile – Tim de Chant

by Paul Alberts

This visualisation offers insight into how urban densities can be compared and contrasted with regards to how much area they would take if the total human population lived according to a particular city’s density. It gives good indications of the processes of urban sprawl, urbanisation, as well as the expansion of the rural-urban fringe. A thought provoking creation!

The Suburban Wasteland Miniseries- Youtube User Eco Gecko

by Paul Alberts

This is an interesting and radical deconstruction of how American suburbs are a short-sighted, inefficient, and community destroying piece of urban America. It is a thought provoking and critical video which really illustrates the flawed idea of suburban growth.
