Numbers, please! 3.5 billion inhabitants - a database of all cities in the world

Researchers have created a database of all cities in the world. This makes it possible to compare what is otherwise not comparable and shows an exciting picture of the world.

In 2015, more than 3.5 billion (or exactly 3,535,326,299) people lived in cities with at least 50,000 inhabitants, which was 48 percent of the entire human population. Of these cities, there were 13,135 five years ago, by far the most in India (3229), ahead of China (1844), Ethiopia (553) and Nigeria (480). Only 40 years earlier, only 1.8 billion people (43 percent) had lived in cities of this size. The largest cities in the world in 2015 were Guangzhou (40.5 million), Jakarta (36.3 million), Tokyo (33 million), Delhi and Shanghai, in that order. Dortmund (better, the Ruhr area) follows in 118th place with 3.4 million inhabitants as Germany's largest city and here at the latest it should become clear that these figures are somewhat different.
