es:Lista de áreas metropolitanas por población eo:Plej grandaj urboj laŭ enloĝantaro fr:Liste_des_mégalopoles
This page lists the 101 largest metropolitan areas of the world by population. This is a controversial issue rather difficult to quantify. These figures include suburban areas immediately surrounding a major city and sometimes multiple major cities which may be close enough together to function essentially as one area (e.g. Washington-Baltimore).
Figures are all rounded to the nearest 10,000, as these can only be rough estimates based on population changes and rates.
