> Population density is a measure of urbanization Population density is not a measure of urbanization. A country with a single city of 1M and outside it a desert of 1M sq km has a population density of around 1 person per square kilometer. A country with a single city of 1M and outside it a desert of 10M sq/km has a density of around 0.1 person per square km. A 1sq km city state with 1M people have 1M people per sq km! All 3 these countries are 100% urbanized (no one lives in the countryside) and have the same population yet population density varies by four orders of magnitude. Sweden has a high level of urbanization and a low population density. Or put another way: most people live in few places BUT the areas where people don’t live are large.
