Global City Population Estimates
Description
Population of Urban Agglomerations with 300,000 Inhabitants or more in 2014, by city, 1950-2030 (thousands). Data for 1,692 cities contained in the Excel file.
Note: Each country has its own definition of what is 'urban' and therefore use exercise caution when comparing cities in different countries.
Data available from the [United Nations](http://esa.un.org/unpd/wup/CD-ROM/Default.aspx), Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2014). World Urbanization Prospects: The 2014 Revision, CD-ROM Edition.
Further detail of population estimates, land area, and population density for world urban areas with over 500,000 people (924 areas) is available with [Demographia's World Urban Areas report (2014)](http://demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf). Much of this data is based on the UN urban agglomerations, though a range of other sources are also used.
