Dude, when NYC has half the density of Paris, there is so much more density to be added to cities in the US.
And this isn't building skyscrapers all around. It is building those 4/5/6 levels apartment buildings all over the place, most with some businesses on ground level. There are plenty of opportunities to make these cities cheaper and more livable. What we lack here in the US is politicians who aren't sellouts.
- tomjakubowski 3y agoI'm curious if those population density stats account for land used for parks. NYC has 4x the park land area of Paris (12,000 ha. to 3,000). In NYC parks are 14% of the city's land area, so it can't account for the whole discrepancy, but it's something!
