urbangeographies:Built-up areas of Atlanta and Barcelona at the same scaleUrban densities are not trivial, as they severely limit transport mode choice and change only very slowly. Because of the large differences in densities between Atlanta and Barcelona about the same length of metro line is accessible to 60% of the population in Barcelona but only 4% in Atlanta. Atlanta’s low density of Atlanta makes rapid transit all the more difficult in an automobile-oriented metropolis.From work by Alain Bertaud -- source link
