Title
Population density (Alpine space 2011)
Abstract

The map shows the allocation of population (inhabitants/km²) within the perimeter of the Alpine Space Programme, displaying the population density per km².

The population density within the Alpine Convention area is generally lower than in the surrounding lowlands: while the population within the Alpine Convention area is about 14.2 million people, there are about 61 million people living within the Alpine Space Programme area. Many of them – especially in Italy – are very close to the Alpine Convention area. In the Permanent Settlement Areas, the average population density reaches 414 people/km², which is comparable to densely populated areas outside the Alps. Favourable areas may have even much higher densities such as the regions around Grenoble 6,282 people/km², Lugano 2,097 people/km², and Innsbruck 1,444 people/km². This is comparable to European capitals such as Berlin (3,812 people/km²) and Vienna (4,025 people/km²).
