# I make it five acres each.
Quite a lot of those acres would not be very nice, mind you, due to being in antarctica. But having said that, I currently inhabit about a hundredth of an acre, and I'm sharing that with a couple of other people. Only a bit more than 1% of the planet's land surface is 'urban' (according the UN, I think). So this sort of stuff is hard to figure out.

# by "planets surface"
are they including those bits which are infact very wet?

# No, I thoughtfully factored those out.

# i thought you said "according to the UN"
so i assumed it was their calculations which they may have biased by including the oceans and seas in their "planet surface"
