Geo: Tokyo No.1 of 30 Largest Cities
30 Largest Cities in the World
The world’s largest urban area, Tokyo (37.4 million), has almost the same population as the entire country of Canada (37.6 million).
The 2018 data on the 30 largest cities of the world, compiled by the United Nations Population Division, reflects the best possible estimates of the populations of these huge cities. Dynamic population growth makes determining the “exact” population of a city difficult, especially in a developing nation.
If you’re wondering what these megacities will look like in the future, the UN has also projected their population for the year 2030. The UN’s list from 2018 lists 33 cities having a population higher than 10 million but 2030 is expected to have 43 of those. Also, in 2018, 27 of the megacities were located in the less developed regions, and by 2030, nine additional cities are estimated to be located there.
