What are the world’s most populous cities?
Jakarta is the world’s most populous city, with 41.9 million inhabitants, followed by Dhaka and Tokyo, highlighting the dominance of Asian metropolises among the largest urban areas. Megacities also vary dramatically in population density, from 2,961 people per square kilometer in New York to 27,301 in Mumbai. Their rapid growth, driven largely by urbanization in emerging economies, is increasing pressure on infrastructure, housing and the environment.
