- Title
THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF HIGH POPULATION DENSITY.
- Authors
WINSBOROUGH, HALLIMAN H.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the importance of the proper level of population density in urban planning. It examines the social consequences of the level of population density in a human society, and mentions the consequences presumed by two groups of social scientists including structuralists, who see high population density and size as a prerequisite for the development of labor division, and behavioralists, who put stress on the psychological and physiological strain involved in the social interaction. It mentions the views of sociologists including Emile Durkheim, Georg Simmel and Craig Calhoun on the social consequences of high levels of population density.
