This concept sketch works to illustrate the disconectivity of the State of Alaska within its own borders. The site analysis clearly demonstrates the isolation and overall lack of density experienced by the population here. The largest city in the state holds a population of just under 250 thousand people, following this there are two other cities with 30 thousand, and then a handful of cities between 5-1 thousand. The remainder of the dots are towns and villages with less than 1 thousand people. This makes the total population of the state per square mile incredibly low. It is no wonder that the people of Alaska struggle to thrive when the conditions so readily isolate each settlement. The city grouping makes it necessary to treat future developments in a very different way than normal undertakings of the same nature in the lower 48.
