Do you mean that your records disagree with the ones I cited, or do you mean that there is another city that hasn't been listed uet?

Not disagree, but your countries link not "cities" sited is not the "city" than the one in mind that has higher population density by far...........

Think population density rather than city area and population........

Ordinarily, I think of population density as being equal to population/area. But you seem to be suggesting something else.

Population/volume?

I think he's suggesting that there is a population density spike within a city, not encompassing the entire city, perhaps

Not spike, but highest concentration (density) of population.............

Correct.

With a population of 1,581,082 and a land area of 38.55 km², it has the highest population density of any major city in the world with 41,014 people/km² (with district 6 being the most dense with 68,266, followed by the first two districts (Tondo) with 64,936 and 64,710, respectively, and district 5 being the least dense with 19,235).[citation needed] A million more transients are added during daytime as students and workers come to the city.[

Malé had a population of 81,600 in 2004 and has an area of just over 1.77 square kilometers. That gives a population density of over 45,000/km2.

Your population figure for Manila is even older from year 2000. According to Encyclopædia Britannica the total population of Maldives has grown from 289,000 in 2004 to 305,000 in 2007. Some sources say even 369,000 by 2007 estimate. Is it likely that the Malé's population would have decreased in the same time period by more than 9%?

Also your source says "any major city in the world". Perhaps Malé with a population of less than 100,000 is not considered a major city.

Manila information from 2007, major event in 2004 decreased Maldivian population, Maldives is a amalgamation of individual islands and does not constitute a city..........

Estimated death toll in Maldives as a results of the tsunami is 108. Not even half a promille of the total population.

The 45,000/km2 figure was for the capital, Malé, not the whole country.

Male' is an atol not a city. Question posted was largest population for "city" density not capital See wikipedia

Demographics

[edit] Population density
With a population of 1,581,082 and a land area of 38.55 km², it has the highest population density of any major city in the world with 41,014 people/km² (with district 6 being the most dense with 68,266, followed by the first two districts (Tondo) with 64,936 and 64,710, respectively, and district 5 being the least dense with 19,235).[citation needed] A million more transients are added during daytime as students and workers come to the city.[citation needed]

Manila's population density dwarfs that of Paris (20,164 inhabitants per km²), Shanghai (16,364 people/km², with its most dense district of Nanshi's 56,785 density), Buenos Aires (2,179 people/km², with its most dense inner suburb Lanus' 10,444 density), Tokyo (10,087 people/km²), Mexico City (11,700 people/km²), and Istanbul (1,878 people/km², with its most dense district Fatih's 48,173 density).

But when accounting for the entire urban area, Metro Manila drops to 85th place with 12,550 people/km² in a land area of 1,334km², behind even Cebu City, which ranks 80th.[4]

Male' is a capital not a city

Major city or city may a factor ???????????

The wiki page for Malé uses the word city many times.

Again, those numbers are older than the ones I provided for Malé.

Yes, the wikieditor who added that population density entry into the article about Manila might not have considered Malé a major city and hence not important enough to warrant a mention.
