Apparently not, Manila is considerably more dense than both, at least unless I'm reading the table wrong:

Woah! If that is true... wait. I see that they've shrunk the square-mile definition of "Manila" proper in this table.
That makes sense. Thank you for the reference.
You know - it's funny. Paris rates above Hong Kong (which does not even appear in the table), and Paris never felt (to me) as dense as HK. Even Manila never felt (to me, subjectively) as dense as HK.
This comment doesn't take away from your point - but isn't densest either Dhaka or Mumbai?
