Largest Cities in Each Section of the World

I have divided the world into 144 sectors, each 15° latitude by 30° longitude. Name the largest city or settlement by population located in each sector.

"City" is defined rather loosely here

The degree range for longitude is greater than for latitude as there are 360° of longitude while only 180° of latitude

Colour Code: Burgundy: cities with population greater than 10 million, Red 5-10m, Dark orange 3-5m, Light orange 1-3m, Yellow 500K-1m, Olive 100-500 K, Light green 10-100K, Green 1-10K, Dark Green less than 1K, Turquoise scientific stations, Tan military base

Populations for large cities taken from citypopulation.de; populations for smaller cities and settlements taken from Wikipedia
