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, collegedormitory 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.
