What if...

IF WE ALL LIVED AT THE POPULATION DENSITY OF MANHATTAN...

HOW MUCH SPACE WOULD 8 BILLION PEOPLE TAKE UP?

WE COULD ALL FIT INTO THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO.... OR THE COUNTRY OF PARAGUAY, OR POLAND, OR VIETNAM

IS THIS A QUESTION OF ONLY POPULATION, OR ALSO LAND-USE AND RESOURCE CONSUMPTION? CAN WE IMAGINE REARRANGING THE LIGHTS?

CAN WE ENVISION A MAP THAT SHOWS A FUTURE THAT BALANCES OUR NEEDS WITH THE NEEDS OF THE PLANET?
