How does population distribution and density affect the need for infrastructure and urban services?
It is key to understand that population density also affects the need for infrastructure and urban services. The more people that move into a town or city, the greater the need for the inhabitant have access to an adequate place to stay and robust urban services, like sanitation, to prevent disease or infestation.
How does altitude affect population distribution?
While there is a gradual increase in the minimum population density (for a given elevation) with increasing elevation, the maximum population density decreases very rapidly with increasing elevation in the lowest 300 m and fluctuates widely at higher elevations.
