🏙️ Largest Cities in the World by Population, 1900-2026

1945年あたりに東京の人口が全然減ってないのおかしい気がする

This is Metropolitan area not city limits — NYC has never had more than 8 million people in its 5 boroughs. The 16M to 18M figure is Metropolitan area — including neighboring parts of NJ, Connecticut, Westchester and Nassau county

Please, before fabricating this garbage, don't drink alcohol. Tokyo doesn't have, and never has had, that many people. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government knows how to conduct a census. That figure is close to the population of Kantō, a region comprising six prefectures and Tokyo, covering 32,423.9 km². Kantō isn't a metropolis; it's a region with wild animals like bears, wild boars, and monkeys, which you'd never find in a metropolis. Stop spreading lies.

According to Wiki Metropolitans with Highest Population Jakarta: 42.0M Dhaka: 36.5M Tokyo: 33.5M Delhi: 30.0M Shanghai: 29.5M Guangzhou: 27.5M Cairo: 25.5M Manila: 24.5M Kolkata: 22.5M Seoul: 22.5M Karachi: 21.5M Mumbai: 20.0M Sao Paulo: 19.0M Bangkok: 18.0M Mexico City: 17.5M

Tokyo is a county in the US sense. It's a collection of cities and towns.

The information is incorrect NYC 2020 Population: 8,804,190

Ndi developers said they built lagos and because lagos was a capital thats why the state is booming but this demo shows lagos started getting this population due to the state government governance from 1999

現代の東京は1000万人しかいないよ めちゃくちゃやな

West → East

totally wrong. Jakarta !

これは都市圏の人口ね。行政区としての東京は1200万人くらいでそんなにはいない。 まあ確かに東京は都市部と言える地域が隣県まで繋がっちゃってる。東京に来た外国人観光客には、まるで地平線まで都市部が続いてるかのようなさまが「スター・ウォーズの惑星コルサントみたい」と言って面白いらしいね。

Fucking indians fuxking

1位インドネシアのジャルカタじゃないの

東京というか関東圏じゃね？

Yakarta?

I was expecting the population of Paris to dip are this time:

@grok estes números estão corretos?

東京の人口ヤバくて草

第一次世界大戦後にウィーンが消えていくのとかわかりやすいね

Good morning

Good morning!

Happy Monday Have a blessed day ahead 💐

No European cities in the top 15 in 2026 is quite a revealing statistic.

Wrong information. Tokyo has 12M people. I know it because I’m a Tokyoite.

It's wrong. Rio de Janeiro City never had more than 7 mil people. This data are about Rio de Janeiro State

These are metropolitan area numbers, not the cities alone.

Wrong. Jakarta is 42 million.

これは東京23区や大阪市あるいは、東京都や大阪府のものではないな。東京大都市圏や大阪大都市圏に相当する領域の人口

全然そんな感じしないんだけど… 間違いじゃなくて？
