If you increased Switzerland’s population density by 50% they’d be in a crowded hellhole like (checks notes) Belgium

- ceejayoz 5mo agoThere are significant differences in terrain that make that comparison a bit tougher.
- plqbfbv 5mo agoYeah, but while Belgium is basically a huge plain, Switzerland is 60% Alps. If you account for that, the effective density of Switzerland on the usable area is 600–700 people/km².
- jrflowers 5mo agoLooks like it’s 380 in the Swiss Plateau (you might be mixing up sq km and sq mi), which puts its at about ~70% of the population density of the Netherlands as a whole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Plateau https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Plateau
- plqbfbv 5mo agoFair, I had a quick look, 600-700 is likely for the big cities areas.
- rayiner 5mo agoBut Belgium does suck. I drove from Amsterdam to Paris in the early 2000s, and Belgium stuck out as being obviously worse (dirtier) than the other two.
