List of cities by population density
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
(Redirected from List of cities proper by population density)
This is a list of the cities worldwide that have the highest population density. The population, population density, and land area for the cities listed are based on the entire city proper, the defined boundary or border of a city, or the city limits of the city. The population density of the cities listed is based on the average number of people living per square mile or per square kilometre. This list does not refer to the population, population density, or land area of the greater metropolitan area or urban area and also does not target a particular city district in any of the cities listed.
