London - October 3, 2024 - People in England often feel like the country is getting more and more crowded. But did you know England could be way more packed? If it had the same population density as Monaco, there could be an eye-watering 3.39 billion people living here! That’s nearly half the world’s population crammed into one country.
How Does England Compare?
Right now, England has about 430 people per square kilometre, which already feels like a lot, especially in cities like London where space is at a premium. But when you compare that to Monaco, the tiny but ultra-dense city-state on the French Riviera, England feels positively empty!
Monaco has around 26,000 people squeezed into every square kilometre, making it the most crowded place on Earth. To put that in perspective, that’s more than 60 times England’s population density. So, while England might feel full to the brim, in reality, it’s got nothing on Monaco when it comes to packing people in.
The Big Housing Challenge
As more people move to cities like London and Manchester, the demand for housing is going through the roof. Homes are getting smaller, and people are looking for ways to make their living spaces feel bigger and more comfortable. Older homes, especially in crowded cities, are being renovated to make them more energy-efficient and suited to modern life.
Old Homes, New Solutions
Colin Greenslade, founder of Colin’s Sash Windows unearthed these statistics while doing some research. Says Colin, “I love statistics and this one was interesting! Obviously we’d have to build over all the farmland etc to fit in all those people but, never-the-less it’s quite thought provoking. Colin continues, “In cities full of Victorian and Georgian houses, like London, it’s not just about adding new buildings. People are also looking to improve old ones, fixing things like draughty sash windows, but keeping the traditional look. It's all about making old homes work for today’s world”.
With England’s population still growing, the need for smart, space-saving housing solutions is more important than ever. And while England may feel crowded, just be glad we’re not living with Monaco’s population density!
