Imagine the milatary bases can be large but remember most of what describe is also included in every other city as to how density is calculated, airports, parks, ports etc. so honestly all places have those aspects factored in. If removed all places would go up - In Philly there is nearly 45sq miles (out of the 134 sq miles total so 1.55 in 89 sq miles by this measure) of such between Fairmont park, two airports, large refining and ship building facilities, large port, and even milatary bases (but am sure smaller than in SA as an example) so do understand the point but this is also not unique to any one city
