Two-thirds of it is in Europe. Tallying up the districts in Europe gives a total of a bit over 10 million, leaving a little over 5 million for the Asian side. So if we're being strict about it, the part that's actually in Asia isn't large enough for it to count as one of Asia's largest cities.

Who would want to live in such a big behemoth of a place? I s'pose if you're born there, you don't think about it. My metro area population is 1.5 million and even that's too big for me.

Big cities are great for a lot of different reasons. Usually they are centers for art and culture with events, exhibitions, etc that you will never find in small towns. You will never run out of new people to meet a city this size, so options for making friends, finding dates, or looking for various activity partners are much greater and more varied. Typically you have a much wider range of options for shopping and greater access to different specialty items, more entertainment and nightlife venues, better cinemas with a wider variety of films, etc. Larger cities have busier airports and so it's easier finding good cheap flights to a variety of places. And some people just like being somewhere where they feel like they're at the center of something greater- the hustle and bustle.

But, realistically, the most important reason anyone lives in a big city is also the primary reason people move anywhere. Jobs.

I agree. My job was the only reason that I lived in the city. I found that the only time I left my immediate neighborhood was when I had guests in from out of town. I did force myself to go to most of the really important cultural kind of stuff and enjoyed it while I was there, but would have been just as happy at home. The other stuff you mention: shopping - on line, movies - Netflix, travel - worked for a major airline for 30 years so I've had my fill of that. I couldn't wait to get back to the country and have a big yard full of critters, cookouts, and pool parties with friends and family. Green Acres is the place to be...

...farm livin' is the place for me. Small towns are within driving distances of either large cities or college towns which have cultural and sporting events, and I would much rather shop online these days. One doesn't have to live in a city to travel. I'm quite happy with the partner I've been married to for nearly 45 years and we're both now retired, so none of your reasons tempt me, Kalba, but I understand why you and others prefer city living. I'll take fishing in the pond, wading in the creek, chatting with neighbors in the gravel road when they stop by on their way to town, eating meat, veggies, fruit, and honey from our farm, and watching the stars at night with my sweetie. (Along with mosquitoes and buffalo gnats, marauding raccoons, coyotes, herbicide drifting over the garden from leaking spray planes, slow arrival time for emergency vehicles, slow internet speeds, - it isn't all idyllic here, but for me the positives far outweigh the negatives.)

I've got to agree with kalba on this one. Cities are awesome, and when they're this big, they're usually really several cities in one, with different neighbourhoods that have their own distinct character. I've been living in the suburbs for close to a year because of Covid, and I can't wait until I can get back to roaming the streets of Paris everyday!

Jetpunk uses populations from citypopulation.de. They tend to include larger areas than you would expect because they don't stick to traditional city limits and sometimes other cities can be included within one city. For example Guangzhou includes Shenzhen, the reason being that the area between them is entirely built up (you can see this on a satellite image).

Well Chongqing is about the same size as Austria so even though it acts as one entity with over 30 million inhabitants I wouldn't count everyone living within that area. I mean there are people who live hundreds of kilometers away in the countryside at some rice farms and are technically citizens of that city...

It gave me that one for typing 'Canton', so you might have heard of a different name.

I wonder if 'Pearl river delta' would have worked, since the quiz population values seem to be taking greater metropolitan areas, so it could be all of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, Hong Kong, and Macau
