Probably Tokyo, Japan, because you can drive for miles and never hit a city limit sign. Of course, you have to avoid all those pedestrians and bicycles. I never smelled so much fish in my entire life.
I would like to put Shanghi, Singapore, or Hong Kong next on the list but do not have a good reference to verify it.
