Population Density Calculator
People per square kilometre and square metres per person — the number that decides what a childhood physically has room for.
Eight million people in 1,600 square kilometres is a density of 5,000 per square kilometre and 200 square metres each — dense urban, and the space a childhood is actually lived in.
