Population density and urbanization
Population of capital cities and cities of 100,000 and more inhabitants
This page presents data on the population of the city proper according to its administrative boundaries and on the urban agglomeration (comprising the city proper plus its contiguous built-up areas). Since population census years differ among countries and areas, the reference years for the city populations vary. For additional notes see technical notes.

Note: The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations
