This product contains data for all known urban areas (agglomerations or urbanized areas) in the world with 500,000 or more population. A number of additional urban areas are also listed, including all urban areas over 100,000 in Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and the United States. Ranking tables show ranking numbers only for urban areas of 500.000 and over.

Demographia World Urban Areas is a continuing project. Revisions are made as more accurate photographs and population estimates become available. However, it is important to recognize that the data is estimated, except for data supplied by national census authorities. Appropriate caution is therefore advised.

Sources:

A: National census authority data.
B: Demographia land area estimate based upon map or satellite photograph analysis.
C: Demographia population "build up" from third, fourth or fifth order jurisdictions (NUTS-3, NUTS-4, NUTS-5 or equivalent)
D: Population estimate based upon United Nations agglomeration estimate.
E: Demographia population estimate from national census authority agglomeration data.

Note: Some of the national census population data is based upon secondary sources, especially www.citypopulation.de
