Concentration of population

Population concentration refers to the action or tendency of increasing the population of larger villages at the expense of the smallest, especially in rural areas. And the same can be said of cities and centers populated in general from any part of the world, although it usually reaches a limit in which the process is reversed. It would be the reverse process to that of population dispersion, which is much less frequent because of the growing occupation of both rural and urban geographic space. At the foot of Vísquer opens the city of Játiva, capital of the region of La Costera (Valencia), an example of concentrated habitat.

It is called concentrated habitat that is located in areas with large towns and cities, with farms, medium or large, occupying the intermediate agricultural spaces. It is typical of the agricultural regions of plains (the La Mancha region could be considered as an example), the Asia region in the South Pacific islands in Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh and India-Pakistan are also not very populated. p>

The concentration is evident and has turned the cities into huge agglomerations, whose homes have grown in height to become megalopolis, conurbations of several heavily populated cities in a relatively small space. Types of population concentration

When it comes to a correct study, some examples or intermediate levels should be established: as it is illogical, as far as a given habitat is concerned, one can not speak only of external values ​​(concentrated or undispersed) but rather must consider the average situations, which can build a huge range of particular situations indifferent.
