> In a city with 10+ million people you don't fall over each other when walking down the street. Usually the city is just big enough to compensate for high population.

I guess you haven't visited Tokyo. The streets are teeming with (non-tourist) people.

It’s crowded, but it’s still extremely orderly.

When I visited it was remarkable how even a few blocks from a train station it felt small and cozy like a small suburban outpost.

I haven't. I recently visited Shenzhen which has a larger population. When I showed people photos they were surprised that it wasn't crowded.

Shenzhen is a modern city, it has big wide boulevards, wide sidewalks, which makes burying subways easy

It does have smaller "cuns" sort of villages within the city, with narrow streets and more people, they seem to be knocking down the densest ones (and building upwards)
