How and Why does Population Density Vary Spatially
Population density is the number of people that live in a certain area. ... There are many things that contribute to the variation in population density in any location. ... In this essay I will use examples of 2 rural and 2 urban areas and explain how and why population density varies spatially.
Urban Example 1: Hong Kong (Central and Western District )
Central is an urban area and is Hong Kong’s CBD (Central Business District). It has a population density of 22,668 people per square kilometer. This is a high population density and this is because of many factors. ... This means that buildings can be built close together and because they are tall and lots of people are living and working on top of each other, there will be a high population density. ... People can move very easily into and around Central and because of this people have chosen to live and work here and this is another factor that contributes to the high population density. ... This will also lead to a high population density as people with illnesses will be cured and will not die.
Rural Example 1: Sai Kung
Sai Kung is a very rural area in North East Hong Kong. It has a population density of roughly 2,250 people per square kilometer. ...
Conclusion:
Population density does vary spatially in Hong Kong. In areas near the harbor, like Central, there is a very high population density.
