   ✅ The number of inhabitants per square kilometre

   It tells "a lot of people" apart from "people packed in". Russia has more inhabitants than the Netherlands yet is far emptier: density relates population to space.

   Show the answer

   ✅ Adding natural growth and the migration balance

   A population changes two ways: being born and dying, or moving in and out. That is why Spain can grow while having more deaths than births.

3. 3. What is sustainable development?

   • Growing economically as fast as possible
   • Meeting today's needs without compromising future generations'
   • Producing only within your own country
   • Stopping the use of natural resources

   ✅ Meeting today's needs without compromising future generations'

   It is the 1987 Brundtland Report definition. It does not say "do not grow": it says grow without spending the natural capital those after us will need.
