Çatalhöyük: streetless urban density
Población, migración y ciudades · Densidad urbana · Vivienda · Neolítico
At its greatest extent, Çatalhöyük has estimates of roughly 5,000–8,000 inhabitants. Its contiguous houses, without streets between them and accessed from roofs, document a dense residential arrangement. The range comes from archaeological reconstruction, not a contemporary count.
