Urban Density

Urban density refers to the number of people living in a specific area of a city, typically measured by the number of residents per square mile or kilometer. A high urban density means many people occupy a small space, often leading to vibrant neighborhoods with easy access to shops, services, and public transport. Conversely, low urban density indicates fewer people spread over a larger area, which might result in more land for homes and parks but can limit walkability and public transport efficiency. Urban density influences social interactions, resource consumption, and environmental impacts within a city.
