Global Population Hits 7 Billion, A Fair Share

Global Population Hits 7 Billion A Fair Share Reinvisioning global landscape to balance population density 7 Billion people living on 149 Million km people per km 47.5 Imagine if... the Earth's land masses were reshaped to evenly distribute today's population. The land belonging to each country would be increased or decreased based on that nation's current population density. For example, Iran has a population density of 47.3 people per km? (population 77.9 Milllion, land area 1.65 Million km?). Thus, after reshaping the country to normalize it to Earth's population density, there would only be a small adjustment of land allotment. In comparison, Antarctica would shrink quite dramatically. The map below illustrates the continuation of this effect.
