Phnom Penh (FN), Nov. 18 – Population figures are measured for urban agglomerations, which is a continuous urban area that may not follow local administrative boundaries.

Tokyo (37 million) and Delhi (35 million) are the largest cities in the world. Tokyo surpassed New York in 1950, and Delhi is expected to overtake Tokyo by 2028.

Cities in Asia and Africa dominate in size, reflecting broader population trends in these continents. Of the top 20 largest cities, 13 are in Asia, 3 in Africa, and 2 each in North and South America, with no cities from Europe or Oceania.

While urbanization has rapidly increased since 1950, with more people living in cities than rural areas by 2008, the pandemic led some in North America to leave large cities for smaller towns, though not on a large scale.
