Immigration is one of the strongest links that seems to bind these Facebook neighbours,as thousands of people pour over borders or over seas, seeking jobs or fleeing violence, and making new connections and maintaining old friendships along the way. Economic links, through trade or investment, also seem to be strong predictors of country connectedness.

In this illustration, we focus on the question of why so many Australians live in so few cities. There is an introductory investigation of world patterns of population and urban concentrations which contextualises Australia as a highly urbanised country. It then accounts for this distribution before undertaking a comparative study of the population distributions of Australia and the USA.

Like its neighboring cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Dongguan has grown explosively as rural Chinese have moved to urban centers seeking employment in factories. In 2008, migrants from other parts of China outnumbered Dongguan’s local residents five to two.
