More than 20 million people woke last week to a thick, acrid, and noxious smog that settled densely across the Indian capital.

Comparing New Delhi (an area of 43km2) to the Beijing metropolitan area (16400km2)… Nice.
That was actually a mistake on my part, thank you for catching that. It looks like the National Capital Territory of Delhi with a population of 16.8 million would be the better comparison? And that has an even higher density
It’s a different definition of metropolitan area, I think. A lot of Beijing’s area is extremely sparsely populated, moreso than Delhi’s.
