Population densities, Greater London & Greater Glasgow

A claim often made is that it is not possible to compare Scotland and England because London has a much denser population


London;s populationi s larger, and it's population denisty is higher, but not incomparably.

PopulationArea (sq km)Population DensityYear
Greater Glasgow1,209,143368.53,2812011
Greater London8,908,0001,5725,6672018
Greater London8,982,0001,5725,7142019


It's worth noting that the City of Glasgow on its own had 1.089 million inhabitants last century, and there has been a concerted effort to lower Glasgow's population density, decade after decade.

It's also interesting to note that the City of London only has 8,910 residents. (I used to be one of them.  It was the shortest commute I ever had).  But over 1 million poeople work there each weekday.
