List of largest cities

May 15, 2023

The United Nations uses three definitions for what constitutes a city, as not all cities in all jurisdictions are classified using the same criteria. Cities may be defined as the cities proper, the extent of their urban area, or their metropolitan regions.

Definitions

City proper (administrative)

Main article: City proper
 
The municipality of Chongqing, China, whose administrative jurisdictional area is around the size of Austria, has the largest population for a city proper. However, more than 70% of its residents live in rural areas.

A city can be defined by its administrative boundaries, otherwise known as city proper. UNICEF defines city proper as, "the population living within the administrative boundaries of a city or controlled directly from the city by a single authority." A city proper is a locality defined according to legal or political boundaries and an administratively recognised urban status that is usually characterised by some form of local government.[1][2][3] Cities proper and their boundaries and population data may not include suburbs.[4]

The use of city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not include suburban areas where an important proportion of the population working or studying in the city lives.[4] Because of this definition, the city proper population figure may differ greatly with the urban area population figure, as many cities are amalgamations of smaller municipalities (Australia), and conversely, many Chinese cities govern territories that extend well beyond the traditional "city proper" into suburban and rural areas.[5] The Chinese municipality of Chongqing, which claims the largest city proper in the world by population, comprises a huge administrative area of 82,403 km2, around the size of Austria. However, more than 70% of its 30-million population are actually agricultural workers living in a rural setting.[6][7]

Urban area

Main article: Urban area

A city can be defined as a conditionally contiguous urban area, without regard to territorial or other boundaries inside an urban area. UNICEF defines urban area as follows:

The definition of "urban" varies from country to country, and, with periodic reclassification, can also vary within one country over time, making direct comparisons difficult. An urban area can be defined by one or more of the following: administrative criteria or political boundaries (e.g., area within the jurisdiction of a municipality or town committee), a threshold population size (where the minimum for an urban settlement is typically in the region of 2,000 people, although this varies globally between 200 and 50,000), population density, economic function (e.g., where a significant majority of the population is not primarily engaged in agriculture, or where there is surplus employment) or the presence of urban characteristics (e.g., paved streets, electric lighting, sewerage).

According to Demographia, an urban area is a continuously built up land mass of urban development that is within a labor market (metropolitan area or metropolitan region) and contains no rural land.[8]

Metropolitan area

Main article: Metropolitan area
 
Tokyo is the world's largest city by urban area and metropolitan area.

A city can be defined by the inhabitants of its demographic population, as by metropolitan area, or labour market area. UNICEF defines metropolitan area as follows:

A formal local government area comprising the urban area as a whole and its primary commuter areas, typically formed around a city with a large concentration of people (i.e., a population of at least 100,000). In addition to the city proper, a metropolitan area includes both the surrounding territory with urban levels of residential density and some additional lower-density areas that are adjacent to and linked to the city (e.g., through frequent transport, road linkages or commuting facilities).

In many countries, metropolitan areas are established either with an official organisation or only for statistical purposes. In the United States, metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).[9] In the Philippines, metropolitan areas have an official agency, such as Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), which manages Manila metropolitan area.[10] Similar agencies exist in Indonesia, such as Jabodetabekjur Development Cooperation Agency for Jakarta metropolitan area.[11]

The United Nations uses three definitions for what constitutes a city as not all cities in all jurisdictions are classified using the same criteria Cities may be defined as the cities proper the extent of their urban area or their metropolitan regions Contents 1 Definitions 1 1 City proper administrative 1 2 Urban area 1 3 Metropolitan area 2 List 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References 6 External linksDefinitionsCity proper administrative Main article City proper The municipality of Chongqing China whose administrative jurisdictional area is around the size of Austria has the largest population for a city proper However more than 70 of its residents live in rural areas A city can be defined by its administrative boundaries otherwise known as city proper UNICEF defines city proper as the population living within the administrative boundaries of a city or controlled directly from the city by a single authority A city proper is a locality defined according to legal or political boundaries and an administratively recognised urban status that is usually characterised by some form of local government 1 2 3 Cities proper and their boundaries and population data may not include suburbs 4 The use of city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not include suburban areas where an important proportion of the population working or studying in the city lives 4 Because of this definition the city proper population figure may differ greatly with the urban area population figure as many cities are amalgamations of smaller municipalities Australia and conversely many Chinese cities govern territories that extend well beyond the traditional city proper into suburban and rural areas 5 The Chinese municipality of Chongqing which claims the largest city proper in the world by population comprises a huge administrative area of 82 403 km2 around the size of Austria However more than 70 of its 30 million population are actually agricultural workers living in a rural setting 6 7 Urban area Main article Urban area A city can be defined as a conditionally contiguous urban area without regard to territorial or other boundaries inside an urban area UNICEF defines urban area as follows The definition of urban varies from country to country and with periodic reclassification can also vary within one country over time making direct comparisons difficult An urban area can be defined by one or more of the following administrative criteria or political boundaries e g area within the jurisdiction of a municipality or town committee a threshold population size where the minimum for an urban settlement is typically in the region of 2 000 people although this varies globally between 200 and 50 000 population density economic function e g where a significant majority of the population is not primarily engaged in agriculture or where there is surplus employment or the presence of urban characteristics e g paved streets electric lighting sewerage According to Demographia an urban area is a continuously built up land mass of urban development that is within a labor market metropolitan area or metropolitan region and contains no rural land 8 Metropolitan area Main article Metropolitan area Tokyo is the world s largest city by urban area and metropolitan area A city can be defined by the inhabitants of its demographic population as by metropolitan area or labour market area UNICEF defines metropolitan area as follows A formal local government area comprising the urban area as a whole and its primary commuter areas typically formed around a city with a large concentration of people i e a population of at least 100 000 In addition to the city proper a metropolitan area includes both the surrounding territory with urban levels of residential density and some additional lower density areas that are adjacent to and linked to the city e g through frequent transport road linkages or commuting facilities In many countries metropolitan areas are established either with an official organisation or only for statistical purposes In the United States metropolitan statistical area MSA is defined by the U S Office of Management and Budget OMB 9 In the Philippines metropolitan areas have an official agency such as Metropolitan Manila Development Authority MMDA which manages Manila metropolitan area 10 Similar agencies exist in Indonesia such as Jabodetabekjur Development Cooperation Agency for Jakarta metropolitan area 11 ListThere are 81 cities in the world with a population exceeding 5 million people according to 2018 estimates by the
