This is an installation of the projected world population density in the next 100 years. It has been modeled by combining all the world cities together as one continuous growth system. As human population expands, we see it as one single macro city spread across the continents. We argue that most nations cannot view the effects of planetary population density thru the lens of just one city or region. Instead we aim to reveal the long range effects of massive human population in areas of present and future urban intensity.
