Divide Europe (Eurostat-data) in a 1 km square grid. There are 140 squares with more than 30,000 people living in them, 89 of them are in Spain.

Spaniards love that dense living.
Funny because even it is looks like really dense, I don’t feel Madrid is an over populated metropolis. The only places I feel really crowded are Gran Via and Retiro, but lots of tourist so…
A Coruña is the most poupulated city by km2 in Spain
I think density is great, and something to be proud of
The product of a disastrous demographics, urbanistic and economic policies for years.
This makes me think how well designed is Madrid, the city I live in. Because it is dense but not crowded at all.
Tantos pisos paco es lo que tiene
Thats because we make cities vertical, tall buildings, much more than the rest of europe
En España la gente vive en general hacinada, auténtica calidad de vida, si es que no hay nada como escuchar la tele del vecino a la 1 de la mañana, a la pareja del quinto follando, oler a la señora de segundo freir calamares, el bar de abajo con terraza y a gritos hasta las 12, etc.
Berlin definetly has a couple of sqkm with more.
I really have serious doubts this map is correct since the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries on the planet and doesn’t have one square, while the majority of people live in a small part of the country also.
Ya decia yo que eramos muchos en la isla xd
This is crap…I’ve lived in Madrid and Coruña…. And not like people everywhere super dense… go to London! It’s crazy there!!
El cuadrado de malaga tiene que ser marbella 😂
Ahí falta la cuadrícula de Soria eh, no me jodas
We do be living on top of each other
Honestly though, it doesn’t feel like it in Madrid, but I know that’s why COVID hit us so hard
I don’t think this is that bad. This means Spain has more than just one dense city, unlike France.
Also Spain:………………………………..
………………………………………..Teruel
My take would be that there’s more population density in Albacete than there’s in London.
En todas las comunidades menos en Extremadura
This is because of the massive migration towards cities starting by 1950s. The only way to provide housing for so many people in a short period of time was to build flats. High prices of housing and job availability concentrated in cities has preserved this trend.
However, high density population also has some advantages. There is more soil available for agriculture and other purposes, travel times are reduced, public transport networks are more efficient, heating costs are reduced and It is more feasible to have stores and other services and businesses within residential areas, not just at shopping centers and city centers
Holaaa
What London? is not one of them? I call bullshit on that. Unless this only includes members of the UE.
Can confirm *cries in palmesano*
Well, dense areas exist because of geography but dense living here exist because of decades without proper building standards that allowed what we call “chabolismo vertical” or vertical slums all over Spain, and some people are still paying for those houses.
1 is in “Guipuzkoa”?
