Nachfolgend sind die städtischen Gebiete der Welt nach ihrer Einwohnerzahl geordnet.
Die Bevölkerung eines Ballungsraums (oder einer städtischen Agglomeration) bezieht sich auf die Einwohnerzahl innerhalb der Grenzen eines zusammenhängenden Gebiets, das mit städtischer Dichte besiedelt ist und typischerweise eine Stadt und ihren umliegenden Vorortgürtel umfasst.
Eine alternative Liste könnte eine andere Definition von „Stadt“ verwenden und eigentliche Städte auflisten, bei denen es sich um Städte mit einem administrativ anerkannten städtischen Status handelt. Diese könnten sich jedoch über das Stadtgebiet hinaus erstrecken und ländliche Gebiete umfassen.
