I think so - or Singapore. Maybe Mumbai. Once upon a time called last year maybe a sqkm of Gaza would sneak in.
Kowloon Walled City will forever hold the record, I think. Density of 1.9M per square km. (Before it was demolished of course)
Wasn't that just because it was tiny (0.026 square kilometre) and a population of 35,000? I think for a discussion about "most densely populated square kilometres" we should actually be talking about square kilometres?
Fair enough. That 0.026 sq.km. has more people living in it than the most densely populated full sq.km. in the UK though, which must count for something. I wonder what the population of the square kilometre centred on KWC is/was.
But the city was much smaller than 1km², so doesn't qualify
Probably lalbagh in dhaka. ~170,000 per sq km.
Once I've heard that Mong Kok area was the most densely populated neighbourhood in the world.
I asked for the most densely populated square kilometer, not the most densely populated city. A city's population can be spread out evenly or concentrated in a few areas.
