520			_aDo people behave differently when they are crowded? Does living under crowded conditions affect attitudes, personality, and the ability to think and solve problems? Is crowdedness a threat to mental and physical health?

After carefully reviewing the evidence, we have concluded that crowding has serious consequences and is a contributing factor to the deteriorating quality of life.
