I could be wrong on this, but I think this quiz is going off of metropolitan area. So in this case it would be Johannesburg, which has a metropolitan area of around 10,500,000.
A megacity almost by definition includes suburbs. It is the urban conglomeration, not the official city limits. So Chongqing should definitely be included.
What are the classifications of a megacity? Where's UAE (Dubai) and Qatar (Doha) or Spain (Madrid) or even Canada (Hamilton, Ontario, Quebec, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver). Also for the U.S where is Philly, Miami, Houston, Dallas.
Both New York and Los Angeles are being considered by the Metropolitian population, if we were to do that then why wouldn't Germany be on the list. On wikipedia its lists Rhine-Ruhr as over 10 million.
It's similar across Southeast Asia - big national populations, but mostly relatively small cities. With a quarter of a billion people, Indonesia should at least have a second. The difference in population between Bangkok and Thailand's next largest city is phenomenal. In general Southeast Asian populations seem to be more widely spread than in other parts of Asia.
Not sure what you're talking about. Bangkok, Manila, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Saigon, Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur, Yangon... all huge. Indonesia is a big country.
Population density is rather unequal in China. There's hardly any city in the east of China with almost 80% of China's total population living on the East
Well we do have the Rhine-Ruhr Area with over 10 mio inhabitants but here on Jetpunk it's usually split into the Ruhr area and the Cologne / Düsseldorf metropolitan area with about 5 mio each.
I wouldn't call Germany spread out. It is a very dense country, with a huge population for its size. The real reason why it isn't on here is that they don't have one big city that's much more important than the others, like London for the UK or Paris for France. Instead, they have five or six urban areas that are about the same size: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne and the Ruhr (the latter two being sometimes counted together). They're big, but they have less than 10 million people.
Shenzhen is considered to be part of the Guangzhou urban area. Chengdu and Wuhan have less than ten million inhabitants according to citypopulation.de.
I think sometimes it's a mistake. Other times QM corrected something on the quiz and added it to the next day so people can get their points again. This time I think it was just a mistake.
Europe,
Asia,
Africa,
the Americas, and US States.
reading comments I made a while ago and realizing how I was more idiot than nowadays lolBogotá population is10,978,000, and its been more than 10M since 2016.
