Been watching (recording) that on BBC2 on a Saturday morning, its a very good watchpaspuggie48 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 7:10 pmBBC showing the 3 part documentary 'Supersized Earth'.
Some fascinating stuff, especially if one is into Engineering and what has been built.
e.g. Burj Khalifa which Robert "Dallas" Campbell goes to the top and does some window cleaning and also traverses at the top of a bridge in construction...walking scarily on chicken wire for a walkway.
1 fact that blew my mind was; if you combined all the major urban areas in the world, they would all fit into half of Australia.
...so the world is not really as over-populated as one thinks?
I take a different view on that fact, Australia is a pretty big place. Imagine a town half the size of Australia.paspuggie48 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 7:10 pmBBC showing the 3 part documentary 'Supersized Earth'.

What's the definition of a 'major urban area' ? And what's the area of all the minor urban areas?Derek27 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 8:39 pmI take a different view on that fact, Australia is a pretty big place. Imagine a town half the size of Australia.paspuggie48 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 7:10 pm
