Top 20 Cities of the World by Population

Classifying the exact population in a particular city can be difficult because the borders of some cities are ill-defined. Many cities sprawl over a very large area encompassing smaller towns and cities in the process. For clarity there are two tables of world city populations, the first table contains data which is supposed to represent the populations living in the most well defined urban centre of the city. The second table lists city population in the metropolitan area which includes the surrounding suburbs and urban sprawl of the city. Sometimes several cities and towns are grouped into a metropolitan area because no clear borders are found between them. One city sprawls into another.
