It's actually both better and worse than you think.
Better in that many places which have comparable population densities on a national level like the UK or Italy are mixtures of villages, fields, and forests with substantial areas of wild space with a few very large cities set amongst them - though obviously not with the kind of wild space of, say, California.
Worse in that those countries have most of their land area flat, well watered, and temperate and Pakistanis are packed into a few river valleys.
