Answer 1

In densely populated urban societies, disease would be expected to spread more quickly.

Population density and urbanization is deeply connected to the spread of diseases. Diseases spread more quickly among people who live in close proximity to each other. Currently, over 50% of the global population inhabits in urban areas. With more people living in dense conditions, there is more frequent contact between more individuals giving way to an easily disease transmission.
