सबसे बड़े शहरों की सूची

दुनिया के सबसे बड़े शहरों का निर्धारण करने हेतु यह देखा जाना जरुरी है कि वह किस परिभाषा का उपयोग कर रहा है। संयुक्त राष्ट्र एक शहर का गठन करने वाली तीन परिभाषाओं का उपयोग करता है, लेकिन सभी शहरों को उसी मापदंड का उपयोग करके वर्गीकृत नहीं किया जा सकता है। शहरों को शहरी क्षेत्र, उनके शहरी क्षेत्र की सीमा या उनके महानगरीय क्षेत्र कि जनसंख्या के रूप में परिभाषित किया जा सकता है।

Sources have provided conflicting figures on the area of Istanbul. The most authoritative source on this figure ought to be the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (MMI), but the English version of its website suggests a few figures for this area. One page states that "Each MM is sub-divided into District Municipalities ("DM") of which there are 27 in Istanbul" [emphasis added] with a total area of 1,538.9 square kilometers (594.2 sq mi).[73] However, the Municipal History page appears to be the most explicit and most updated, saying that in 2004, "Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's jurisdiction was enlarged to cover all the area within the provincial limits". It also states a 2008 law merged the Eminönü district into the Fatih district (a point that is not reflected in the previous source) and increased the number of districts in Istanbul to thirty-nine.[74] That total area, as corroborated on the Turkish version of the MMI website,[75] and a recently updated Jurisdiction page on the English site[76] is 5,343 square kilometers (2,063 sq mi)..   7 टोक्यो 125px  राजधानी    8 ग्वांगझोउ 125px  उप-प्रांतीय शहर    9 लागोस 125px Lagos state government provides alternative estimate for Metropolitan Lagos - ~`7.5m in 2015 महानगर The surface of the Metropolitan Lagos is 1171 square kilometres, but 171 square kilometres is water (lagoon).   10 मुंबई 125px  नगर निगमMumbai City consists of two distinct regions: Mumbai City district (Island City) and Mumbai Suburban district (Western Suburban and Eastern Suburban), grouped into 24 wards, under the administration of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
