In 1804, the world population hit 1 billion for the first time ever. And think about how fast it grew from there: it took 123 years to add the second billion, then just 33 years for the third — and the jump from 7 to 8 billion took only 12 years. The curve isn’t just rising, it’s accelerating — and all those people have to live somewhere. So join me today as we explore some of the most densely populated places in the world right now, and what it’s like to live there!
