# List of cities in Delhi by population

The constituent parts of the National Capital Territory of Delhi form an urban agglomeration. In the census of India 2011, an urban agglomeration (UA) was defined as follows:
"An urban agglomeration is a continuous urban spread constituting a town and its adjoining outgrowths (OGs), or two or more physically contiguous towns together with or without outgrowths of such towns. An Urban Agglomeration must consist of at least a statutory town and its total population (i.e. all the constituents put together) should not be less than 20,000 as per the 2001 Census. In varying local conditions, there were similar other combinations which have been treated as urban agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity."
