  • This is the most densely populated city in the world! The city and island of Male in the Maldives. There is a lot of different information about how many people live on Male and Hulumale but it says a total of 250.000 people on several surveys. I had recently arrived at the airport in the Maldives and stayed in a hotel on the north island. Today I would take the bus to the south Island an explore all of Male.

    Excellent content. I'm a Maldivian and you have captured the city life of Maldives quite well. BUT, this is not the Maldives the world knows. The real Maldives is outside these two cities. You will love the people, the beauty of Islands and ofcourse great snorkeling experience (not so warm). Waiting for your next video. Enjoy your time in Maldives

The people are so nice, they don't trick you into anything, what you see is what you get. unlike most other countries iv visited. They know how to make your trip special. Make sure you get an all inclusive package because it's not cheap over here

      Please do not generalize the Maldives, just because of Male island. Maldives is a country with more than 1190 islands. There are also about 200 islands that are like local village islands. Most of the islands are not crowded like this. What happened to Male would have happened to any other country if it was like islands. Imagine if London was an island. As the population grew it, it expanded as there was land. In the case of Male, it is an island that was not able to expand. The island of Hulhumale is an artificial island that was reclaimed in order to lessen this pressure. Before about 15 years it was a reef with no island. If we want to compare other small island countries, usually their islands are larger than the islands in Maldives. For example Rodriguez in Mauritius. The reason why Male became crowded is due to development of tourism in the 1970s. That time there was only one international airport. So the tourism started with islands near Male. The concept in Maldives tourism ws like one island - one resort concept. But on these islands it was exclusively for tourism, and no local settlements were allowed. In fact, most of those islands were also small. During that time time transportation was not easy. So many resort workers brought their families to Male. Banking was only available in Male. As the tourism industry grew, and needed more employees, more families from rural areas migrated. The cottage industries in rural areas declined. I don't know why, but i felt quite sad by reading your comment.

      Further to my comment: I have been to the Maldives 2 times, many tourists like myself usually bypass Male and go straight to the resorts. Many tourists are very apprehensive about staying in Male if they have a late flight and cannot catch their seaplane transfer or catching a very early International departing flight. I think William’s video will show that it is perfectly fine to stay in Male and that locals will extend the same courtesy and respect you show them. I will be recommending this video to others who are apprehensive about staying in Male.

    The water temp here seems to be as in Tel Aviv, Israel where you just don't get to freshen up at all, it is always at least 28 C in the summer. The only difference, in the Maldives it *seems* cooler when you look at it due to its crystal color. The little islands will be more to your taste, I think. See you there! :=)

      @@naturelover5449 dear, maldives is not a part of india. We are independent. Maldives has a different culture, ethnicity, religion and heritage to india or any other neighbouring country. The maldivian lifestyle, beliefs and values differ heavily, esecially to india. The closest cousins to the maldivian lineage in south asia is Sri Lanka. The Maldivian language 'dhivehi', was heavily influenced by Sinhala.

The bus ticket thing was a complete mystery for me and I doubt many people bothered trying to figure it out because even now only a few people use the bus to travel between the islands as the main mode of transport is usually either the Ferry or the bridge on a motorcycle or a Taxi. Maybe next time I go to Hulhumale' I'll take the bus haha!

    Malé most crowded city in the world? LOL… You need to see Dhaka (Bangladesh).
    I’ve been to Malé, Maldives, and also Dhaka and many other cities in different parts of the world. Never seen any city as crowded as Dhaka:
    Crowd-wise, Malé is nowhere near Dhaka.
    Good video though.

      Look up the definition of densely populated

    • @CentaurPriest
      @CentaurPriest Před 2 lety +3

      ​@@williamtaudien Everyone knows what "densely populated" refers to.
      The idea of “densely populated” deriving from theoretical density stat is NOT synonymous to “crowded”.
      Even if we were to take those terms as synonymous, it still is not correct that Malé “CITY” is the most crowded “CITY” in the world, based on the following reasons:
      As per density stat that offers an AVERAGE by dividing the total population by total area:
      Malé Population Density:
      27,180/sqkm
      - vs -
      Dhaka Population Density:
      29,373/sqkm
      Irrespective of certain lists that says Malé is the most densely populated, just by the above stat giving specific number, Dhaka as a whole (as opposed to Dhaka City) is more densely populated than Malé as a whole.
      But, even more importantly as applied to the instant case as per your video title including the phrase “Most Crowded CITY” placing into issue “CITY”, we are not talking about Malé and Dhaka as a whole but the “CITY”.
      The stat you are relying on, I’m sure, gives the population density based on entire Malé population divided by its entire area and the entire Dhaka population divided by entire Dhaka (as opposed to Dhaka CITY) area.
      Because almost the entire Malé is the city, the stat gives a fairly correct average of the population density of Malé City.
      But, when we are talking about CITY, the stat doesn’t give the correct picture of the population density of Dhaka City because:
      1. the entire Dhaka is NOT the city while, out of the total Dhaka’s area of 1497 sqkm, only 306 sqkm is the area of Dhaka city, and
      2. The vast majority of whole Dhaka’s 22,478,000 population live in Dhaka City.
      Accordingly, the population density AVERAGE of Dhaka as a whole does not reflect the population density in Dhaka City.
      Given that we are talking about City, 19.5 million people live in Dhaka “CITY” that has the area of 306.4 sqkm.
      - Now do your math to figure out whether Malé City or Dhaka City is more densely populated.
      Thanks.
