depending on the context of the whole text, you could also use "congestion"

I would like to add a note to this...I have been translating the section on "نوع تراکم" in the link provided by Rahi Moosavi. Very interesting.

In the cases where it it is describing some kind of measurement, such as people/hectare, it would be better to use "density".

In cases where the discussion is describing "too much" of something, "congestion" may be better.

Density is completely neutral, used as a scientific term.

Congestion is negative, implying too much of something, which prevents normal functioning.

High density by itself does not mean congestion.
Peer comment(s):

agree Rahi Moosavi : Yes indeed "congestion" is the case here. See this for definitions http://www.tehran.ir/Default.aspx?tabid=1302

possibly...but the sentence seems to refer to population congestion rather than too many buildings
