Judgeing by how many can fit in a car, I would assuem the city would be the same way, although I have never been there.
But when I leave work in the afternoon, i dont see how 4 grown adults and fit inside a single cab nissan truck

I would have to sayyyyyyy...... Hebian-To?
Actually, my vote would be...Manila, Philippines.
City Density
Population: 1,654,761
Area in Sq. Miles: 14.7
Area in Sq. KM: 38
Population per Sq. Mile: 112,872
I've been there.... it's that crowded. The one bit of information that most people don't know...
# of working toilets per Sq. Mile: 4 (JUST KIDDING)
I LOVE the Philippines.

I guess it all depends on if you take it as the island, or the city. Taking the city into account, without calculating in the 'burbs, changes everything.
