Countries with Megacities

Made it with 14 seconds left. Brainfart, it wasn't really that hard. Nice one!

I had 181 seconds left

Y'all sleepin. I finished this quiz with 13 minutes left

Awesome Quiz got 18/22

Appreciate that the cities are in hidden columns so theyre in the answer grid.

Only Missed S. Africa, but 89% got it! Was kind of surprised that was one.

Got them all. Can't believe I almost forgot Japan, though.

Tell me what megacity is in South Africa????

China's missing Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan and Shenzhen.

Maybe the suburbs aren't counted or something, so Chengdu, Wuhan and Shenzhen don't make it. But Chongqing definitely has less than 10 million people.

Well, if Johannesburg is included, these cities should be included too, because they outnumber Joburg anyway :)

We're not alone.

got Turkey with 1 sec left :D

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.

I hate to break it to you but..... Ontario's not a city.

ONTÁRIO IS A STATE! (Toronto, part of Ottawa, Hamilton, etc, are in Ontário)

Actually it’s a province

It cannot be Xiamen for sure. You just can't lump Zhangzhou into Xiamen.

Strange, but we must trust the source for consistency

YAY! 12 seconds left boiiiii!

Lima now has 10 million. So Peru should be added now.

So you requested them to update it? Didn't know you could request them. I've already updated the Spanish version. Also waiting re-approval.

Lima still doesn't seem to be in the quiz?

It's population has decreased since last year, and it now only has 9,900,000 people.

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.

Rhine-Ruhr is a metropolitan region - not an urban area.

Very surprised not to see Vietnam on there considering the large national population but I guess they are spread out over a few big cities

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.

Not on here anymore

They weren't on here before. *not to see

Yay! Thank you! 100% and it got me to level 38!

Unbelievably to see that India has more megacities than China

Well, population density is way higher in India than in China. It's population is about 96% of China's but the country is about a third of the size.

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

Damn it, Seoul.

I missed the United States of America... of which I am a citizen... and have been to one of the megacities...

I always forget South Korea for some reason. Got everything else though.

Missed Iran. Guessed all the other countries.

wanderlust

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.

That's why they wanted to conquer europe

China also has Shenzhen 12.5 million, Chengdu 12 million, and Wuhan 11 million (all urban counts).

Shenzhen is considered to be part of the Guangzhou urban area. Chengdu and Wuhan have less than ten million inhabitants according to citypopulation.de.

Johannesburg metro population is 5,783,000. Bogotá population is10,978,000, and its been more than 10M since 2016.

You did an amazing work with this quiz it's just strange to not find some cities in that website ;)

Palistan took me a while

Do you mean Pakistine?

lol

Only had a couple to go, and then for some reason I switched to typing in cities, and ended up very confused to why I couldn't complete the quiz!

I always forget how populous Lima, Peru is!
