What is it that our planet is huge! Just think how many countries, nationalities and cities you can find. We all know which countries are our planet's largest, but not here, which is the largest city in the world? To this question not everyone can answer. That is why today I want to discuss this topic with You.
What is he largest city in the world? To answer this question we need to understand which criterion to use: surface area, population or density? In order not to give advantage to one indicator, I made a rating of the largest cities on each of them.
So, let's start with the biggest city in the world by area, which is the capital of China — Beijing. Its area is 16 sq. km. 801 there is a lot of Imperial palaces, parks and monasteries. As well as the world's largest Tian'anmen square, the size of which is a kilometer by half a kilometer.
The second place is the city of Sydney, one of the most famous cities of Australia. Its area is 12 of 144.6 square miles with a population of about 4.5 million people. completely different nationalities and cultures. Just imagine on its territory Sydney almost 15 times greater than new York.
The city is known worldwide for its Bay and Port Jackson. It should be noted that Port Jackson is the largest of the harbour, having a natural origin all over the world. By the way, thanks to the Gulf often hear in the address of Sydney called "the Harbour City" or "City Bay".
And, of course, we cannot forget the amazing building of the Sydney Opera house, which is striking in its uniqueness. So the building is one of the most recognizable in this world.
Third place, based on the size, belongs to Shanghai, one of the largest cities of China, an area of 7037 sq. km.
In addition to the third place, based on the size, Shanghai is the largest city in the world by population. Its population is 24 million 150 thousand people. Probably, it is not surprising that a Chinese city has taken the first place. But it is worth noting that the previous years, the palm belonged to Tokyo, capital of Japan.
Shanghai is the financial, cultural, scientific, tourist and industrial center of the country. In the center of Shanghai — Padun are offices of the largest corporations in the world. Therefore, it is clear that Shanghai is the most highly developed city of China.
The second place is the city of Karachi, one of the largest cities located in the South of Pakistan. The population of this city is 23 million 500 thousand people. And the third place again is the capital of China is Beijing with a population of 21 million 516 thousand.
If we talk about density, the largest city in the world from this point of view, Mumbai, or as it is still called by the locals — Bombay, the largest city in India, and perhaps one of the most famous cities in the world. The density of the city is 20 680 persons per sq. km. in area 603,4 sq km and population of over 12 million people.
It is particularly well-observed contrast between incredible wealth and terrible poverty.
By the way, here is the "film factory of India is famous for bollywood, where the annual shoot a huge variety of movies.
Second place goes to Seoul — capital of the Republic of Korea. The density of this city reaches 17164 persons per sq. km. with population of over 10 million people and an area of about 600 sq. km.
But the third place based on the density belongs to Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria with a population of over 15 million people. The density of the city is 17 068 people per sq. km. with an area of about 1000 sq. km.
Here such here it turned out a rating of the largest cities in the world. I hope You enjoyed!
