Interesting how many are British, as opposed to cities in Africa, the Middle East, or Malaysia.

A lot of the Middle Eastern cities had declined in population at this point, but started to slowly pick up growth again, e.g. Kudüs (Jerusalem) grew from approx. 15k in 1872 to 62k by 1922. For the other regions, it's mostly due to them being way more rural at this point in time.
