Notes
- Note 1: The article on Mumbai lists 28,834/kmē as the population density, though it can be calculated as 39,860/kmē (17,449,532 people in 437.77 kmē), and a reference later in the article states 45,662/kmē
- Note 2: The density for Monaco covers the entire principality. Cities within likely have a higher density.
- Note 3: This is the density for Greater London. The actual City of London has a lower density.
