    Impressive population density, it is difficult to imagine such a level of urban concentration of people

  2. You want to move every human to have ever lived to Iran when war might start next week ? Are you a psycho or something?

    Do it again with Levallois Peret a city touching paris that is 4 to 5 time more dense.

  4. The density of city comparisons are dumb. You get cities where the borders are like the entire size of the country. You get cities where they’re several cities within one city. IE, Brooklyn was its own city until 1905 (we had a day off for this in school, now I remember the fact, thanks brain) and Brooklyn is 50% more dense than Karachi with a population of 2.7 million by itself.

    The reality is we need more real estate than our homes. If you want to focus on land use, this is the metric, and it’s not enough land: [https://www.popsci.com/environment/article/2012-10/daily-infographic-if-everyone-lived-american-how-many-earths-would-we-need/](https://www.popsci.com/environment/article/2012-10/daily-infographic-if-everyone-lived-american-how-many-earths-would-we-need/)

    Honestly I would rather live in the woods away from civilisation then live in a place that dense

  6. Karachi is so dense because most of the post partition Muslim migration from Northern India were packed in there by the then government of Pakistan.

    The conflict between these Urdu speaking migrants and Sindhi speaking locals has caused a lot of bloodshed. Ultimately the Sindis are mostly displaced from the Karachi region to the rural Sindh.
