Citypopulation.de lists Wuhan as larger than Washington, and its numbers are if anything conservative (most figures elsewhere seem to say 11 million - they've been quoted in the media a lot recently for some reason...)
Just wondering, why Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan etc. are still considered with Guangzhou for urban area, while Chongqing which is today supposed to be the biggest urban agglomeration in the world (at least according to some Chinese sources) is still listed with few million inhabitants?
Chongqing is actually still quite far from being the biggest. Yes, it can be considered be the biggest, but only if you count the population based on city proper. The area of the municipality of Chongqing legally is about the size of Austria, so it makes sense why it has a lot of population. But not all parts of Chongqing are urban areas though, hence, its urban area population are actually smaller than its city proper population. Even Chinese cities like Shanghai, Beijing & Guangzhou are still bigger in terms of urban areas population.
For your information, the top 3 biggest urban agglomerations in China are : Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta & Jing-Jin-Ji Region. You may look them up and look for their population size, which are tens of millions of people, the size comparable to countries like Spain, Italy or UK (size varies by sources). Each of them consist of multiple large cities with their own metropolitan areas. They are also among the world's largest urban agglomerations
India has 2 cities there, so was Japan and Canada with 2 each too. So what's your point including india in your comment? Ofc you wouldnt add japan and canada🙄
I am pretty sure that you are wrong about Edmonton having 1.3 million people. As far as I know, Canada only has 3 cities with over 1 million; Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary (Where I live.)
Ho Chi Minh City has more people than Hyderabad now. Is it not included for a reason (because it's also called Saigon) or was it just missed during the update?
I don't like calling Saigon "Ho Chi Minh". he was a bad guy and should not have this great city named after him. I'm glad JetPunk accepts Saigon for HCMC.
Thought I was getting them all. Then I hit Z. Chinese cities are all way too similar to remember, and so many. I tried Zhenzhen, Zhenzhao, Zhaozhang, Zhenzhou...
Claiming Urumqi is in East Asia misled me. Even if it's part of China, I don't think it's a suitable definition when one wants to define the location of the city.
The population of Fuzhou is a typo surely? 4.55 million would make a lot more sense than 45.5 especially considering that Fujian (the province Fuzhou is in) apparently has a population of 38.56 million and also contains Xiamen.
The 21.8m comes from citypopulation.de which uses "Metro Population" instead of "City Population". This gives a better idea of how many people are in a city in a given day versus how many people live in a specific government drawn line that a lot of times doesn't match the city at all. For the best example I have found of this look at the map of Los Angeles metro area versus the actual city limits. It's ridiculous.
Given this, the NYC metro area actually includes parts of NJ, CT, and even a couple counties in PA. Which leads to it actually having a larger population than NY state.
Fun Fact: Tokyo is not a city, so many Quizmasters have to (!) use urban area in favor of metropolitan area.
Xiamen 2016 estimate; 3,920,000
Xi'an 2016 estimate; 8,832,100

Perhaps I missed it because 'zh' in standard Mandarin is pronounced similarly to 'j' in English.

Not in East Asia like the majority.
