List of largest cities

 




The Assembled Countries utilizes three definitions for what comprises a city, as not all urban areas in all purviews are characterized utilizing the equivalent criteria. Urban areas might be characterized as the urban areas appropriate, the degree of their metropolitan territory, or their metropolitan regions. The biggest city by populace utilizing the city legitimate definition, which is the zone under the managerial limits of a nearby government, is Chongqing, China. The biggest city by populace utilizing the metropolitan territory definition, which is a free term alluding to metropolitan zone and its essential worker zones, is Tokyo, Japan. The biggest city by populace utilizing the metropolitan zone definition, which is a free term alluding to an adjacent territory with a specific populace thickness, is additionally Tokyo, Japan.

A city can be defined by its administrative boundaries (city proper). UNICEF[1] defines city proper as "the population living within the administrative boundaries of a city or controlled directly from the city by a single authority." A city proper is a locality defined according to legal or political boundaries and an administratively recognised urban status that is usually characterised by some form of local government. Cities proper and their boundaries and population data may not include suburbs.


The use of city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not include suburban areas where an important proportion of the population working or studying in the city lives. Because of this definition, the city proper population figure may differ greatly with the urban area population figure, as many cities are amalgamations of smaller municipalities (Australia), and conversely, many Chinese cities govern territories that extend well beyond the traditional "city proper" into suburban and rural areas. The Chinese municipality of Chongqing, which claims the largest city proper in the world, comprises a huge administrative area of 82,403 km2, around the size of Austria. However, more than 70% of its 30-million population are actually agricultural workers living in a rural setting.
