Thirty Most Populous Cities In The WorldThis a list of the thirty most populous cities in the world as of 2004. The reader should note that criteria for defining a city's population vary wildly between nations, and the figures and ranks in this list may bear little or no relation to a city's actual metropolitan or urban area population size. The List of metropolitan areas by population may be better suited to comparison between cities on a global scale.
