1. Urban Sprawl is the term used when a city expands outwards, often for many kilometers as opposed to Urban Consolidation, when current land in the city is redeveloped into high density accommodation.
2. Urban Consolidation is when city planners redeveloped current land and properties in a city to higher density housing or apartments. This is opposed to Urban Sprawl, as explained in Question 1.
3. A highly urbanized country is a country that has either a very large percentage of land urbanized, or a country that has the majority of its population living in an Urban Environment. Australia is an example of a highly urbanized population and Hong Kong is an example of both a country with a high percentage of land urbanized and a large percentage of population urbanized.
4. Three statistics that suggest Australia is a highly urbanized country are that it has high population density in cities, it has the majority of the population working in manufacturing and/or professional and service related industries and it is a centre for business, trade, tourism, entertainment and finance.
5. The factors that have influence the location of Australia's major cities are their location to the coast to enable easy access and transport, and access to key resources.
6. Population density is how many people live in a certain area and it is usually measured by how many people live in a square kilometer. It is often related to urban sprawl because when cities have high population density they can expand into low population density suburbs, which are essentially products of urban sprawl.
7. Most Australian cities compare around average, or slightly lower than average for major world cities.
8. The advantages of this are that the infrastructure is already built and ready for use, so no money has to be built on building new infrastructure, which can be extremely costly and time enduring.
