Until recently, there was no harmonized definition of ‘a city’ for India and other countries as well. This undermined the comparability, and thus also the credibility, of cross-country analysis of cities. To resolve this problem, in this video, the term "city" is defined by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs under United Nations as urban agglomeration. That is a highly developed spatial form of integrated cities.
India is the 7th largest country in the world by area, and a country this large has a population to match. When breaking down the numbers, it's shown that India has many large cities that contribute to its massive population. In fact, the country has a total of 39 cities that each have populations exceeding one million residents. Of these cities, two have populations that exceed 10 million -- Mumbai and Delhi. While these megacities contribute millions to the population, the country also has smaller but still very populated cities, including 388 that have populations exceeding 100,000, and a whopping 2,483 cities with populations of over 10,000. When looking at these numbers, it isn't hard to see why India is the second most populous country, falling only to China.
Even though it has larger cities than many countries, this developing country still has a very large rural population that contributes to its total numbers. While cities continue to develop and expand, the rural population hasn't seen significant decreases through the decades like in other countries. In fact, 67% of the population is situated in rural areas, while 33% make up the population in the larger cities. While this has decreased from the 1960s to 82% rural population, it isn't as significant of a change as some countries, which have far more residents who have moved from rural areas to pursue greater opportunities found within cities. However, because India is still a developing country, these numbers are expected to continue to decline in the future.
#TOP10Channel presents the video of #LargestCities in India (1950 - 2035) based on the most recently released by the UN population division in 2018.
