Wait Sweden has enough population density to have apartments?
lol yes it's a standard form of housing, remember that 80% of people live in urban areas basically no matter which country you're talking about. 50% of the population lives in the 3 metropolitan areas, the vast majority of the population lives south of gävle, and basically everyone in the north lives on the coast or in the few inland urban areas.
The nordics are honestly pretty similar to north america, just on a much smaller scale. no one lives in wyoming but that doesn't mean the USA has no dense areas (NYC has a larger population than norway).
Wdym the Nordics are like America? They have history and living traditions
geographically.
we have the same general distribution of our populations, with like half the population living in a fraction of the area and at least like a third of the area being basically devoid of humans.
this is unlike a lot of central europe where the population is really spread out and there isn't really a lot of empty space left, or e.g. russia which is the other extreme of everyone living in moscow and 90% of the country being devoid of humans.
Well, Russia is another completely different thing
Absolutely, the majority of the population does live in "small houses" with 1-2 families but over 40% live in "Multifamily residential" with more than 2 families per building. I suspect that most of the "Multifamily residential" buildings are considered to be apartments.
The country is very sparse but that's mainly because there is a lot of land with absolutely nothing except trees. Most live in cities or towns where it's much denser (obviously nowhere close to Paris or London though)
So they do have apartments but only in Stockholm and Malmö (basically the only cities they have)
No, at least some apartments exist in pretty much every slightly large town.
They aren't Skyscrapers or anything, often just 3-6 floors but apartments nonetheless.
