Overview
Yossi Melman, in \"No going back to the 'good old days'\" (July 25), says of Gaza that it is \"probably the most densely populated area per square kilometer on Earth.\" Gaza is certainly heavily populated, but its population density is not quite so extreme. Gaza has a population density of approximately 4,700/sq km. Interestingly, this is less than Tel Aviv (7,524/sq km), Singapore (6,252/sq km), Hong Kong (6,352/sq km), London (5,100/ sq km), and Moscow (4,900 / sq km). One might contend, however, that it doesn't make much sense to compare the Gaza Strip, which is partly rural and partly urban, to a city like Tel Aviv. That's a reasonable point, but it raises the question how does Gaza City itself compare to other cities? According to Wikipedia, it has a population density of 9,983/sq km, which is comparable to that of New York City (10,725/sq km). This is not even in the top 40. The most densely populated cities are places like Manila (42,857/sq km), Chennai (25,854/sq km), Delhi (25,553/sq km), Dhaka (24,743/sq km), Kolkata (24,252/sq km), and Hanoi (23,342/sq km).
