Die zwei größten Städte auf jedem Kontinent

Surprised Kinshasa’s larger than Lagos.

The Jakarta urban area is the biggest urban area in the world now, surpassing Tokyo. [The UN, the source of this 2018 data in the infographic, recently noted Jakarta’s population as the largest](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/27/jakarta-overtakes-tokyo-most-populous-city-world).

Did this map cut Istanbul right in middle so it doesn’t appear? It has 15 million people, weird its not there

Wrong flag for egypt

I’m surprised Paris outpaces London.

America is a whole single continent.

Shouldn’t Istanbul be for Europe? It is larger than Moscow.

Shouldn’t it be London & Moscow for Europe?
(Technically Istanbul & Moscow, but I wager for simplicity sakes, they’re going for wholly European)
UN’s 2025 report says London is bigger than Paris as is

**Asia** should have:
1 Jakarta, Indonesia 41.9 Miliion
2 Dhaka Bangladesh 36.6 Million

**Africa**: Lagos, Nigeria 12.8 Million

**Europe:** Istanbul, Turkey 16.4 Million

That’s a lot of mistakes. Very nice formatting though.

Honestly, living in these megacities suck.

[https://www.citypopulation.de/en/world/agglomerations/](https://www.citypopulation.de/en/world/agglomerations/) has a more consistent methodology for determining the metropolitan limits than UN World Urbanization Prospects report.

Lots of inconsistency, shit map

Lagos is bigger than kinshasa and in Asia it should be Jakarta and Dhaka

Jakarta metropolitan has more
