Chinese residential city blocks aren’t any denser than American ones, they do have more green space though. Paris is one of the densest cities in the world and it doesn’t really get taller than eight stories high.
- throw0101a 7y ago> Paris is one of the densest cities in the world and it doesn’t really get taller than eight stories high. For the record, it is 24th in the world: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_population_density https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_population_d... And there are other French cities above it: Levallois-Perret is 8th at 26,432/km^2.
- SECProto 7y agoLevallois-Perret is a commune bordering on central Paris, and a comparable size to a single arrondissement (subdivision within Paris proper). For example, the 11th arrondissement [1] is 50% larger and 100% denser than Levallois-Perret. But it doesn't count because it isn't it's own separate administrative area. All this to say: the closer you look, the harder it is to rank places by population density. The comment point was that high population density can be reaching without high rises.

- bobthepanda 7y agoAren’t Parisian apartments also really small? I’m in a 90 sq m two-bedroom in Seattle and I shudder to think what I’d have to pay in central Paris for that.
