Population Density Unlike other species, human reaction to
population density is mediated by attitudes and cultural definitions about how
many are too many. Adense population is one thing in a culturally homogenous
city where few are poor, and there is a culture of civility (like Amsterdam).
But a dense population is quite another thing where many are poor, culturally dissimilar,
and there is a weak culture of civility. What do you think the American
experience of growing populations will be? On a small scale, think of the times
when you have lived in adense environment with others (for example, a shared
apartment, college dormitory or military base). How would you describe that
experience? What kinds of special rules emerged to deal with problems of
crowding? Not all rules deal with population density problems, but many do. In American
cities, how do wealthy people deal with problems of urban crowding and
congestion? This paper should be two pages.
