It's not obvious that small size would help. Singapore is an unusual case because it's basically entirely urban whereas Denmark is a more normal country with both urban and rural areas. How would small size help Denmark relative to, say, Spain? Would Spain be richer if it were divided into countries the size of Denmark?

"Probably an average Spanjard is wealthier than a Danish" What's your source for that? I don't have a good source but the Wikipedia page "List of countries by wealth per adult" gives the average net worth of $426,494 for Danes and $222,888 for Spaniards meaning Denmark is almost twice as rich by this metric (though Denmark also has a bit more wealth inequality).

@LarsPallesen The Wikipedia page I mentioned above gives the Gini index for the wealth distribution in Denmark as 73.9% and the one in Spain as 69.1% meaning Spain is more equal in this regard. I suspect for the income Gini index the result would be the opposite but I don't have that data on hand right now so it's just a guess.

@give_me_my_nick_back "I'd rather [...] not live in a completely empty cities, completely made up of suburbs with next to no stores" I don't think that's an accurate description.

@mayer14474 Lol! Seriously speaking, I think that probably wouldn't work in general but might in some special cases.
