NOTE: Numbers shown include population within the recognized metro area of the city, and they also include people living in the immediate surrounding area outside of the established border of the city, (the immediate suburbs)

NOTE: Some population numbers shown are accumulated at-best estimates, as consistent (2012 census) information is not yet available in some parts of Africa and Asia.

That sounds like a list of places to avoid. Those huge cities are always overrun with crime, have lots of air pollution and are extremely expensive. China keeps popping up on that list and its polluted as hell. They traded a nice country for some loot, I think they made a bad deal.

I just looked up barcelona and they say it has 1.6m, not 4.2m. That is a huge difference.

  I believe these stats are for the entire metro area . .  Something llike a 100 mile radius of downtown . I believe the actual pop. of just the city of New York City is about 10 million.

My city made the list at #72, but I think they shorted us. I'm pretty sure The Greater Atlanta Area is closer to 6 million now.

Hey Grandote, you speak of China and pollution. It's so bad that Chinese traffic cops have the shortest life expectancy on earth at only 43 years average. I leaned that playing trivia, but here is a short article.

That's unbelievable, but true. I believe the longest life expectancy is Japanese women because of their strong social lifestyles and their diets. I think their average life expectancy is 88 years.

Yep pollution is a huge problem in China. One reason is because it is a mountainous region around a lot of there big cities and the  air can be stagnant at times, especially when there is little wind on some days. Plus because of their EPA laws or lack there of. Los Angeles has this same issue because of the San Gabriels and little air movement but it's still a lot better than China, thak goodness.
