The map provides a level of detail previously unavailable. It is the first ever to collect data published by all of Europe’s municipalities.

Europe has been undergoing intense demographic change and this map is the first ever collect data published by Europe. How this map works:

The Dark Blue color shows average annual population fall of 2% or more

The Medium Blue shows the average annual population fall of between 1 and 2%

and Light Blue shows a fall of 1%. The areas in tan experienced no change at all.

Areas in Deep Red show a rise of 2% or more in population, while in areas of Medium Red (1-2%) and Pale Pink (1%).

This article shows the population patterns of Europe between 2001 and 2011. Many cities have had a high rise in average annual population of 2 percent or more. This map also shows that there has been more migration in northwest Europe. Citizens have left certain cities in search of better job opportunities. The population in Germany is sparse except in Berlin. Spain has had a big drop in population overall. Many people living in more rural regions have moved to cities and many others are moving to coasts for retiring or downsizing.

Before-and-after maps show how freeways transformed America's cities

Before-and-after maps show how freeways transformed America's cities | Education in a Multicultural Society | Scoop.it
From www.vox.com - May 20, 2015 3:02 AM
Beginning in the 1950s, cities demolished thousands of homes in walkable neighborhoods to make room for freeways.

 

At the time, this was seen as a sign of progress. Not only did planners hope to help people get downtown more quickly, they saw many of the neighborhoods being torn down as blighted and in need of urban renewal.  But tearing down a struggling neighborhood rarely made problems like crime and overcrowding go away. To the contrary, displaced people would move to other neighborhoods, often exacerbating overcrowding problems. Crime rates rose, not fell, in the years after these projects.  By cutting urban neighborhoods in half, planners undermined the blocks on either side of the freeway. The freeways made nearby neighborhoods less walkable. Reduced foot traffic made them less attractive places for stores and restaurants. And that, in turn, made them even less walkable. Those with the means to do so moved to the suburbs, accelerating the neighborhoods' decline.

It is really interesting to see how urbanization has affected not just us today but our parents and grandparents. Of course with innovation includes consequence whether good or bad it happens. Go America!

Urbanization - transportation

 
Ryan Tibari's curator insight, May 27, 2015 10:16 AM

Industrialization changed not only the physical face of cities, but also the social. Innovations such as highways have caused transportation to become widely easier, allowing people from all different regions of the city to travel easily back and forth from place to place.

Declining Populations

Declining Populations | Education in a Multicultural Society | Scoop.it
From www.washingtonpost.com - April 30, 2015 9:41 AM

"All over the continent, potential parents have shown reluctance to have more babies. Hence, governments and advocacy groups are becoming increasingly creative about getting their citizens to make babies."

 

Tag: Europe, declining populations, population, demographic transition model.

After reading such an article, I could not understand why someone would not want to have children, especially with the incentives offered by the governments. Clearly it seems as if Denmark is the most concerned because they take up three out of five of the slots for how Europe is trying to convince its citizens to make more babies. In general, the incentives seem to be very good, good enough for someone to want to have children. In Sweden you get 480 days out of work plus 80% of your previous salary, Denmark says if Danes were successful in conceiving a child while being on a vacation organized by the company, they were eligible to win three years of free diapers and a trip abroad and France pays families monthly allowances to their children who are younger than 20, plus discounts. 
Benjamin Jackson's curator insight, December 13, 2015 3:01 PM

the fact that these campaigns are necessary in this age where migrants are flooding Europe and the birth rate is declining. its amazing that this is necessary, but with the birthrate declining the only other home to insure their economic system continues to function is to get the migrants working.
Zavier Lineberger's curator insight, March 13, 2018 11:53 PM
(Europe) Europe, especially in the middle and eastern regions, faces a challenge: population decay. Europeans are having less children so the population rate is decreasing, unlike many parts of the world. In Denmark, instead of focusing only on preventing pregnancy and using contraceptives, educators mention the advantages to having children. Denmark also launched advertisements linking sex to patriotism, gives benefits to couples conceiving during vacations, and created a dating site for citizens who intend to start a family. Nearby Sweden passed a law allowing either the mother or father to be entitled to 80% of their pay for 480 days after their child's birth, eliminating some financial concerns for inability to work during childcare. In France, families with children/young adults under 20 get a monthly federal stipend and heavy discounts.
However, according the accompanying map, the projected annual growth rate of the three countries mentioned are all positive (0.00 to 0.99% growth). This may be because of the mentioned campaigns, but the article does not mention the efforts to remedy this social problem in countries marked in blue. These areas face great population problems in the next decades, and it would be interesting to understand more of their problems.

Population, Sustainability, and Malthus

From www.youtube.com - March 9, 2017 12:36 AM
In which John Green teaches you about population. So, how many people can reasonably live on the Earth? Thomas Malthus got it totally wrong in the 19th century, but for some reason, he keeps coming up when we talk about population. In 1800, the human population of the Earth passed 1 billion, and Thomas Malthus posited that growth had hit its ceiling, and the population would level off and stop growing. He was totally right. Just kidding, he was totally wrong! There are like 7 billion people on the planet now! John will teach a little about how Malthus made his calculations, and explain how Malthus came up with the wrong answer. As is often the case, it has to do with making projections based on faulty assumptions. Man, people do that a lot.
