The world’s largest cities
and urban areas in 2006 Urban areas ranked 1 to 100
The tables provide population figures for cities and their surrounding urban areas. Most such agglomerations are economically, socially and culturally dominated by one city at their centre. Occasionally however, several cities of similar status and their suburbs make up an urban area. The 2006 population figures are based on censuses carried out between 2000 and 2005 and adjusted to take account of average annual population changes.2018 UPDATE: 300 LARGEST CITIES IN THE WORLDTHE LARGEST CITIES IN THE WORLD AND THEIR MAYORS 2010
