African Comparison Paper Both Houston and Rabat are both one of the largest cities in their respective state and country. However, they have very little else in common. Rabat has many problems, but Houston has very few. Living in Rabat can be terrible at times, but in Houston people have very little to worry about. Each city has its own problems. One for Rabat is population density; because people are so close together that any type of disease spreads rapidly. Also, there isn’t much food to eat, making sickness more likely. Also, most people in Rabat are living in poverty because the government can’t support them. In Houston, the main problem is crime, because they have one of the highest crime rates in the U.S. Houston and Rabat are two very different cities. One of the largest differences is that Houston’s area is 1625 km2 while Rabat’s area is 117 km2. There population Density is also very different. Houston has 1505 people per kilometer while Rabat has 5300 people per kilometer. Despite Houston’s huge area advantage, the population of the cities is somewhat close because of Rabat’s population density. Houston’s urban population is 2,100,263 people while Rabat’s is 620,996 people. Despite being mostly different, the two cities have a bit in common. The summer climate is similar, Houston’s being 52-109 Degrees Fahrenheit and Rabat’s is 49-99 Degrees Fahrenheit. Also, English is a commonly used language in both cities. Other than that, there isn’t much they have in common. Both cities have more differences than similarities. They both have major problems as well. My thoughts and feelings about these cities are sad for the people who live in Rabat, because there are many problems. Houston has very few problems and people are safe there. These cities were very interesting and I would love to visit Houston but probably not Rabat!
