16. How densely do we live?
The urban area - home to 80% of Europe‘s population; the majority of cities is clustered in selected regions of Europe.
From statistics to real-world information: High-resolution satellite images show the built-up area types; this allows re-mapping of general statistics to the place where it really happens.
