Why is France so rural compared with the countries around it?
You would have thought that Northeastern France at least, would be more urban than it is…

I’m quite surprised by the north Sweden large suburb area. I would have expected most people to live more south, not closer to the arctic circle. Is the grid area distorted so it appears bigger because of the map projection?

Looking at it like this, Spain doesn’t look that empty

The swedish part is completely confusing, where are the two large lakes? How can areas be town and suburbs where they are supposed to be?

I guess you don’t reclaim land unless you’re building stuff on it.

Now I don’t believe for a second that Belfast and Derry are more urbanized than Dublin

This is a misleading map, it doesn’t show the actual rate of urbanisation by area but rather the rate of people in an arbitrarily defined area who live in an „urban area“. Northern Scandinavia is very much not densely populated despite how it would look from this map, since it just has a high proportion of people living in it’s (few) towns.

France’s pattern of urbanization is distinctive and interesting. No suburbs. Dense population centers, and low-population areas. That profile makes transportation and housing problems much easier to solve.

Looks like the largest most „densely populated areas“ are in the middle of Sweden and Finland, plus some northern Norway. Really? Using that method you can draw all Australia as a red „densely populated area“, because more than 50% of the population lives in large cities there.
