What kind of comparison are talking about? Is your interest really how many people per squared km's? Most world cities have a large population around them. Apply the same points you are making equally (to all cities you would be interested in comparing) "Toronto has about 12 million people living within a couple hundred miles of the city." - a couple hundred miles is kind of stretching the limits of what constitutes a metropolitan area.
