English term or phrase: square-mile footprint
Bonjour,

Comment comprenez-vous "square-mile footprint" dans la phrase suivante :

"Detroit has the square-mile footprint of Manhattan, Boston and San Francisco put together, but is sparsely populated in many areas."

"Detroit a la superficie de Manhattan, Boston et San Francisco réunies, mais reste faiblement peuplée dans de nombreux quartiers."

Je ne suis pas sûre qu'il s'agisse de la superficie ici (ou alors "à la louche")...

Merci de votre aide

densité de population au mile carré


Explanation:
Les Philippines sont le deuxième plus grand pays de l'Asie du Sud-Est après l'Indonésie; la population du pays devrait croître de 70 % au cours des 45 prochaines années. La densité de la population au mile carré atteint déjà plus du double de la moyenne dans la région, ce qui a des conséquences sur l'environnement, l'approvisionnement alimentaire et la santé de la population. Le Population Reference Bureau (PRB) communique à des personnes partout dans le monde des renseignements sur les enjeux en matière de démographie
