Via Carbonara, Napoli (Naples)

High residential density is something that will be found in cities all over the world these days as populations keep expanding, and the amount of space available to them doesn't keep up.

In most modern cities it involves building ever taller concrete and glass boxes and shoving people into them. This creates "battery farm" type accommodation, but you'd never know that from the outside.

Napoli, on the other hand, has been doing high density for over 100 years. And they don't hide it behind concrete, steel and glass boxes.

Satellite dishes, awnings, potted plants, large water bottles, sheets, shoes, shirts, underwear, towels... Any number of things will be found here clustered tightly together, all protruding from the residents' limited space.

The number of items that you can squeeze into a single photographic frame boggles the mind.
