Population densities are irrelevant at national scales. Most of Sweden is uninhabited wilderness, whereas most Swedes live in urban areas just like every other comparable country. Population densities only start to matter when comparing smaller regions.

The average swedish city is a lot smaller than the average city is mostly anywhere else, I do believe this matters.

There's no reason to believe that city size really matters. Density, housing patterns, and movement patterns are what count in the rate of spread.
