The density needs to exceed 223,563/sq. mile (says the essay). Singapore's density at 20,445/sq. mile is less than 1/2 that of Monaco, says its reference 5, which is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen... . Thus, only 10% of the land is needed, giving plenty of space for roads, etc. Of course, if you include walls then you can place people on either side of the wall without an infection probl…
I stand corrected, also the model does not take into account the Z axis, magnitudes of area added by highrises.
Average volume of a human is 66l [1]. Make it 130l to allow some unused space due to imperfect packing.
7.6 billion * 130l = 988 000 000 000 liters.
1 cubic kilometer = 1 000 000 000 000 liters.

To be fair, over here in the UK, we have MPH for roads, stones and pounds for peoples weight (kilograms are becoming more popular, in particular for the under 25s), feet and inches for peoples height (meters becoming more popular for under 25s). So we have a bit of a hybrid really, I am 36 so get a bit of both, but my parents need everything converted to "old money" as they call it, they can't imagine what 25cm lengt…

Indeed, they would, with 6 feet to the edge of their circle, and another 6 feet from that edge to the next person.
You are correct. The diameter should be 6 feet and the radius 3 feet.
