World's top 10 largest cities by population in 2024: Even though China and India are the most populous countries in the world, but Tokyo tops the list as the most populous city in 2024, according to the World Population Review. The global population has reached an unprecedented level, surpassing 8 billion people. According to projections by the United Nations, the world population is expected to grow by nearly 2 billion by 2050 and could potentially reach as high as 10.4 billion by the mid-2080s.
This tremendous population growth can be attributed to various factors, including advancements in healthcare, sanitation, and living conditions. Mortality rates, particularly among infants and children, have decreased globally, and the median age of the world population has steadily increased over the past decades. The World Population Review recently released a list of the top 10 largest countries and cities by population as of 2024, further highlighting this trend. It comes as no surprise that the majority of the most populous cities in the world are located in China and India, the two most densely populated countries globally.
As a result of this population growth, cities around the world are experiencing significant increases in their populations. The rise of megacities, globalisation, and urbanisation are the primary contributors to this trend.
