Document Summary
Cities- select areas with a high population density (people per sq. mi. /km. ) Population density varies by country and within country. Makes sense because tokyo is the biggest. Mongolia, only 1. 76 people per sq. km. Western china has lower pop. than east. Industrialization and migration have fueled a rapid urbanization in the east. 2015, 100 cities with at least 1 million people. New jersey, 467 people per sq. mile. New york, 27000 people per sq mile. Dhaka, 100000 people per sq mile (*most densely populated city in world) Broad suggests the city gets money from multiple economic sectors. Narrow suggests the city gets money from one or two sectors. One sector could fail and the city can still support itself. Bahamas, centered around three industries (tourism, selling and exporting tropical fruits, natural gas industry) New london ct (naval base, tourism, boats, casinos) Nigeria- oil export, nigeria may be the first country to run out of oil.
