I would venture to suggest that New Zealand is high on environmental

If your definition of environmental quality includes such things as
effective sanitation and clean water supplies then there is good historical
evidence for these being developed as a result of concentrations of

In the UK the industrial revolution brought about large textile towns,
cholera outbreaks and then improvement in sanitation and water supply to ensure
the survival of the units of labour aka working class people.
