Dhaka now most densely populated city!

Each human being living in family on earth today ‘would be standing 150 metres away from the nearest neighbours’, writes The Guardian newspaper.

If 7 billion living humans are divided by the land surface of the earth, it means, there is a population density of roughly 50 people for every square kilometre.

Based measurement of the density of “urban agglomerations” – including adjacent suburbia as well as the administrative city proper –, Dhaka has been ranked the mostly populated city in the world, according to Te Guardian.

It made the ranking based on the UN’s Habitat data collected from national census offices.

Accordingly, Dhaka’s population density stands at 44,500 people per sq km.

It’s mostly Asian cities in the top of the list: Mumbai is second, while Manila is fourth, with Singapore high up as well, said the British newspaper.

Medellin is South America’s most dense city at third overall, with Casablanca and Lagos in Africa close behind.

However, The Guardian report added, the UN’s Demographic Yearbook has data for the “city proper”. This smaller measurement of area makes Manila the world’s most densely populated city, with the centres of Paris, Athens and Barcelona topping the European list. New York is the densest city in North America, while sprawling Sydney is Australia’s.
