population density

  • population density Norway: 15/km2

I believe that how & where we live is important for who we become. I think that our sense of space becomes a part of our identity, our personality. Living conditions are a personal matter. I have no idea who I would have become living like this:

    Hong Kong is a country but also a city. Life in many cities is similar in this way. For example, the population density of the urban core of Oslo is 3300/km2, per wikipedia.

    I can’t help but wonder if such density of population would encourage more competition , or herding tendencies . Or bee hive behavior even?
