Notes
- Note 1: The article on Mumbai lists 28,834/km² as the population density, though it can be calculated as 39,860/km² (17,449,532 people in 437.77 km²), and a reference later in the article states 45,662/km²
- Note 2: This is the density for Greater London. The actual City of London has a lower density.
- Note 3: The density figure for Sydney seems incorrect.
