Closest Larger City to a Given City #1

Given a city, find the closest other city that is more populous (using urban area population). For example, if Paris were given, London would be the answer. Some of these are pretty tricky!
If there are multiple cities with the same name, we are referring to the most populous one.

Going to resubmit because I spelled Dar es Salaam wrong (in the "given city" column).
