Top 15 Most Populated Cities In The World (1700-2019)

This video ranks the top 15 most populated cities in the world from 1700 to 2019. Population numbers are based on contiguous urban area, without regard to territorial or other boundaries inside an urban area. Using urban area populations rather than political borders creates a closer measure for the true size of a city as they measure what's really there, rather than where governments drew arbitrary lines centuries ago.
