- Visualizing every city in the world with more than 1 million inhabitants. With urbanization the cities of the world are growing and many are now defined as megacities with over 10 million inhabitants. In this video we take a look at every city over 1 million inhabitants in 2020 and visualizing them on a world map using blocks.
In the first part, every yellow marker represents one city with a population between 1 and 10 million. The megacities of the world are marked with a black marker.
Then in the second part every block represents one million inhabitants with colours for every region respectively.

Dude if you're talking about metropolitan area, New York should be a megacity, it's metro population is 16 million.
Yea new york's city's population is 16 millon
@@samotero8702 no it's 8 million,
@@capnsteele3365 yea the whole city is 16 million
@@capnsteele3365 metropolitan area is the area around the city aswell. So New York City + the area around it
Also Seoul. It's metro population is 26 million.
I think some cities you're using the city limits while other cities, you're using the metro area.
Not with nyc.
Yeah the two biggest examples I caught of using the metro area instead of the city limits were Toronto and Buenos Aires, each of which have close to 3 million in their city propers.
@@oscarg2692 yea also Vancouver too
I sure you're up to something
Yeah like Richmond’s city limits is only about 200,000 when it’s metro is just a little over 1 millions

The metrics used for this are highly inconsistent. Some are obviously cities proper while others are clearly metro areas.

and indonesia prob
those are probably magnets
In China, Russia and India you've used metro area population, while in the US you have used the official city limit even though both Los Angeles and New York City have metro populations above 10 million
In Russia, he used city borders. Moscow metro area is 17 millions. And in China, city governments usually control very large territory, many times more than the urban area itself. Chongqing for example is larger than Austria.
That is mind-blowing that the Tokyo population is equal to the whole population of Poland and that's just a city compared to a country. Wow.
and canada
Most of japanese live in Tokyo.Like 90+ percent of them live in Tokyo
@@bobfishhed9923 More like 37/127 Million
Keep in mind that's the whole Kanto metro area
@@bobfishhed9923 so like no one lives outside tokyo and osaka?
this isn't a fair comparison you've used metro areas for some cities while the actual city limits for others
Ok so with the US, this is actually incredibly misleading because of weird city limits. At least for the US, you should really use metropolitan population, which makes it more like 50 in the US. But very cool video, don’t mean to be overly negative.
Thats bs tbh That would make most european cities excellent over 10/40 million too.
For New York’s metropolitan it includes like a quarter of all surrounding states sooo no
@@jackburnett1721 No it doesn't lol
Yeah I agree cities like Miami which has 400,000 pop is less than Jacksonville or Birmingham that doesnt even have a skyline because there are so many other cities around it
I also definitely agree with your point here, because of urban sprawl many cities especially in the United States are more spread out. This because of the immensely care dominated culture which allows for greater use of land, and so even if the land area is very large one could get around the entire region in a relatively short amount of time (excluding traffic obviously). So because of this most cities have a population that is misleaded as a smaller one. For instance The San Francisco Bay Area actually has a very large population at well over 6-7 million however because one uses the small city limits which is only 232 square miles or 600km which has a population of 800,000 people many would think that the city as a whole was much smaller.
Hello from the 234th most populous, and 4th most populous city in Australia, Perth.
Perth has just over 2 million people, but the entire state of Western Australia, being nearly as large as India has in total just 2.5 million. So nearly everyone lives in Perth..
I'm from Adelaide! Australia gang!!!
im from melbourne! Australia gang!
I'm from 15 largest city in world
Kolkata, india
Western Australia has an area of 2.646 million sq. km, while India has an area of 3.287 million sq. km, so it's actually smaller, not twice as large :0
@@Naveen-tq7cg well India's land size is actually just 2.9m km which only slightly larger than west Australia, keep in mind that those are only a state of Australia, and having the size of a country with population of a city is just crazy

@@SmallCirclesForward It must have been a real pain to put this together, so a few errors are ok.
I like how different the city center and metro populations can be. Like Atlanta GA, which has 500,000 people in the city center, but the metro population of Atlanta is 5.9 million.
New York metro population: 18.9 million
Detroit: 4.3 million
LA: 12.1 million
Chicago: 9.5 million
Miami: 6 million
London: 14.3 million
Dallas: 7.5
Honestly, you could do this for every city and it would change drastically.
If American metro areas are the standart then the entire Rhine megalopolis is a single city.
@@fusionreactor7179 not the same… you just compared a megalopolis to a metropolis
The northeast megalopolis in the US has 52 million
The great lakes megalopolis has 85 million across the US and Canada
The southeast megalopolis has 26 million people
Hence why, I wasn’t referring to megalopolises
Now if you are referring to the Rhine metropolitan area than go ahead. It has 10 million people… but that is pretty small compared to the megalopolis that the Rhine finds itself apart of
Rhine metropolis 10 million
Blue banana megalopolis 111 million
See the difference?
I agree, he should make the comparison with metropolitan area population in American cities. He did it right with Metropolitan area of Mexico City (22 mill) because only Mexico City has around 8 millions of inhabitants.
6:19 cali , COLOMBIA* de todas formas buen video
This is so amazing, my man here is hugely underrated.
Actually in Greece we have 2 cities with over than 1 million inhabitants. The other being Thessaloniki
Oh, I didn’t know that. I always thought it got like 500k but apparently it’s bigger than I thought.
I'm pretty sure its around 800k+
@@R1IY2N the metropolitan area has 1million
If you call Tokyo one city you could call most of the netherlands one metropolitan area with over 10 million people.
The urban areas of the netherlands are not continuous, but those of Tokyo are.
I've watched a couple videos now, just wanna say great job and good on you for sticking it out you are getting recommended!
My only gripe with this video is that it’s inconsistent whether you’re using metro area or city limits, because you’re clearly using metro area for places like Paris, Toronto, and Tokyo, but clearly not for New York, London, and Los Angeles.
Edit: I guess it’s the UN that’s inconsistent
Just imagine a city with twice, or thrice, or four times the population of your whole country.
Really cool video.
This is the most underrated channel I have ever seen!
Great content! :D
The Helsinki Metro combines three cities almost a dozen other municipalities into one
Tbh with u this channel is massively underrated and deserves somewhat 100k subs
hOW R U SO UNDERRATED MY MAN!
Extremely impressive. This is great.
But besides stacking tens of pieces on top of each others, it really shows your dedication where you had to check where each of these 533 cities were located.
Unfortunately you didn't get footage from my city in the end, I was expecting it. But that also was a great addition, showing the cities.
Very good job, I love me some good maps, you earned a sub. Salutations from what, by these metrics, would be the 4th largest city in the world, São Paulo.
(Still sounds shocking to me that this is the largest city out of Asia)
Thank you so much! But of course I knew the locations by heart 😉
Another brilliant video.

Broooo you deserve like 2 million subs
I was a suprised for a moment, because the hole on the map in Spitzbergen (the Island above Norway) looks Like a city above 10 Million 😂😂
You deserve more praise than you get. Stacking 20+ counters without disturbing a board of 1000s of counters must be difficult.
Amazing channel!
Mérida, Yucatán, México tiene más de 1 millón de habitantes. La información que presentas por tanto es imprecisa, pero buen trabajo xd
In Argentina we have another city that overpass 1 million of inhabitants: Córdoba, with 1.5M. A little mistake that you had but all the video was interesting and excelent! Greetings
Río Cuarto tiene 1,2 millones (en 2010) y tampoco está en el video

@@Hatshe175 error mío, pensé que tenía más población la ciudad, y no sé de donde tenía el dato de que su población superaba el millón (creo que de la escuela)

But I think Rio's image was misplaced with another city.
Why is Kim Jong Un so aggressive? Because he doesn't have a Seoul, he has a Pyongyang!

@@bigcockpapi no
@@bigcockpapi it doesn't count metropolitan area. So it's not the same city you see in a map
@@bigcockpapi tenés hambre??
Alright mate you got me confused pretty early. So I assume you don’t use the metropolitan area for your number of inhabitants, based on the fact that you don’t include either London nor New York (the definition of a mega city) on your map. But then again you include Paris as a mega City? So based on what number do you take your Numbers? Because if you use the metropolitan area you missed 3 megacities alone in the US (The aforementioned NYC, but also LA and Chicago)
As a Vietnamese geography nerd. It is crazy that Ho Chi Minh City has only 1.3m people. And Hanoi isn't even on the list while Da Nang and Bien Hoa is. In Vietnam we use province and municipality as administrative divisions and municipality are cities that rules its own unlike provincial cities. I use municipality as city boundary like most Vietnamese. Here's My list of biggest City in Vietnam as of this Video released:
Ho Chi Minh City: 8.9 million
Hanoi: 8.1 million
Hai Phong: 2.1 million
Can Tho: 1.4 million
Da Nang: 1.1 million
Bien Hoa: 1.1 million (The only non municipality city on this list)
This isn't concluding the recently added city of Thu Duc.
This channel not doin well research
Can't believe he don't include vietnam capital in top 500 atleast
Good to see my city made it,
Cheers from San José, Costa Rica 🇨🇷
excellent job superb video and explanation
Can we use your videos for teaching in my class?
Fun fact: the Guangzhou metropolitan area has about 45 million population (but only if Shenzhen, Dongguan and Foshan are counted in)
Tokyo has 203 train lines
If you were to count the Randstad as one city (which it kinda is but also kinda isn’t) it would almost make the 10M mark with ~7.5M population
You need 200k subs
Other cities: skyline and monument
Delhi:Traffic
Me: 🤦♂️
5:01 West Yorkshire isn't a city it's a county with big cities like York and Leeds
Did anybody make a list of all the cities in the vid
Little correction:I saw you put one piece in Finland even though the biggest city there aka Helsinki has population of just about 700k.
That's because he's inconsistent. Uses city limits sometimes and metro areas other times. The reason is that if he was consistent he wouldn't have been able to put 500 in the title.
Btw about Marakech the last count was in 2014 and i bet the population has doubled since then (not to mention tourists)
Wouldn’t North America have 3 city’s above the populous of 10 million? Los Angeles, New York City, and Mexico City. 12 million, 18 million, and 21 million respectively.
It's a very great video, but unfortunately there are some errors... For example for Rome you didn't considered the 'city' which has 2.9 million inhabitants, but the entire province which is way bigger and has 4.4 million inhabitants. I think some misinterpretation of data could have be done for other cities as well, however, the general overview doesn't get much afflicted by that. Keep up the good work!
The problem is even more complicated. It's defined as a metropolitan city, but that is a replacement for the province, so it's effectively a city with cities inside. It's the same thing with Milan, Naples, Turin and even other cities that are below the million
Barcelona doesn't have 5.5 million habitants. The Barcelona province has that many, but it's a very big area to consider it as a city.
What is the other million population city in Malaysia? I only know that Kuala Lumpur exceeded 1 million.
This changed my whole world view
Actually Peru 🇵🇪 has 3 cities over 1 million. Trujillo with 1.1M, Arequipa with 1.3M, and Lima with already about 11M. 😉 Chiclayo and Callao have both 0.9 so might be passing the 1M barrier soon.
That opening scene of Djemaa El Fna/Jemaa el-Fnaa brings back so many great memories for me from over 20 years ago. It's been cleaned up a little bit too much for my liking since then but still a great place to visit.
I was in Marrakech you are right but I was shocked how spread out it has become. As a child when I was in Marrakech it was a small city. Only 10 minutes to drive through the whole region. Now all the suburban sprawl and the development is insane !!
South America was basically Brazil then! lol Why was he saying "Reo de Ranero"? And at 10:15 that's NOT Rio lol that's Barcelona, in EUROPE (Our Christ is on top of a mountain & way larger).

Mal culiau, la re cagó ahi
There's quite an inconsistency with this list but superb jobs been done xD
are you going by greater area or city proper?
this channel is really impressive and deserves more views but here the metro area vs city borders and claimed population issue lets this down, for example, it's misleading to suggest Paris is bigger than London or New York
Yep I know this video has some issues.. thank you so much for the support anyway!
Metro Manila in the Philippines though can technically be considered multiple cities with more than a million, or one mega city.
Yeah same as Metropolitan Cities such as Metro Cebu,Metro Davao,Metro CDO and Metro Clark
Damn Kuala Lumpur be lookin beautiful with modern tall buildings lmao
Damn Cairo is huge, had no idea
At first there were many different cities in Kanto plain but the gap closed with urbanization creating an agglomeration of urban area with nothing to seperate. If you go back to 1960s you can find seperate cities other than Tokyo in th region with some green in the middle but now there is no green though city names like Kawasaki and Yokohama and many more remains the same.

What happened to London and on Google it says Bogota has a population of 7 million making it too small to be a megacity
Great job! But Rio de Janeiro was mistaken by Barcelona's Tibidabo Church. Both cities are too iconic to be mistaken. Oh, Im so curious to see this considering US and UK's metro areas like in the rest of the world.
Great video. However a lot of cities were rather inaccurate for their population. For example melbourne and Sydney from Australia have 5 million and 5.3 million people respectively.
