<Representative picture>

 

#1 Introduction

 

Seoul, the capital of Korea, is the largest city in Korea, where people live the most, and the center of Korea.

However, globally, it cannot be estimated without comparing whether the population of Korea is large.

So today, I would like to solve questions such as how many people live in Seoul, Korea, and how large the area is from all over the world.

Along with that, let's take a look at which city the largest number of people live in and which city will be the largest!

 

 

#2 The city where the most people live

 

To look at the city where the largest number of people live, the Wikipedia site was used.

This site uses data from the UN's World Urbanization Prospects and shows the number of people living in cities in 2018.

The city where the most people live through this site was Chongqing, and it was found that the population living in Chongqing was 32,054,159.

After Chongqing, Shanghai is the city with the largest number of people, with a population of 24,870,895.

After Shanghai, Beijing, New Delhi, and Qingdao appeared in order.

It can be seen that most people live in China, Seoul ranked 21st and New York 32nd.

1st Chongqing - China 32,054,159
2nd Shanghai - China 24,870,895

Then, let's take a look at the biggest city this time!

 

 

#3 The biggest city

 

To look at the world's largest cities, the Wikipedia site was used.

On this site, you can check the name of the city, the number of people, the country, and the land area.

Three conditions are dealing with the land area, but in this posting, we will focus on the metropolitan area, which is the same condition as above.

The largest city examined through this site was Chongqing.

As we saw earlier, Chongqing was the city with the largest population, and it is considered of the biggest cities.

After Chongqing, Harbin is 53,068km², which is 87.7 times larger than Seoul(605km²) in Korea.

It was followed by Khartoum, Hangzhou, and Beijing.

 

Ranking City name Land area((km²)

2nd Harbin - China 53,068

... ... ...
25th Tokyo - Japan 2,191
... ... ...
33th Houston - USA 1,553

50th Seoul - South Korea 605

 

China has a large population around the world, and it can be seen that there are many cities with large cities.

 

 

Three lines summary!

1. Chongqing has the largest population.
