Choose the correct set of the following cities in descending order (according to the Degree of Urbanization definitions in 2025) in terms of population.

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The World Urbanization Prospects 2025 report, released by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), fully integrated the Degree of Urbanization (DEGURBA) methodology for the first time. This harmonized geospatial approach defines urban centers using consistent population density and grid-based criteria (1 km2), rather than varying national administrative boundaries. Under this standardized definition, Jakarta (Indonesia) is the world's most populous city with approximately 41.9 million residents. It is followed by Dhaka (Bangladesh) with 36.6 million, Tokyo (Japan) with 33.4 million, New Delhi (India) with 30.2 million, and Manila (Philippines) with 24.7 million. While Tokyo was historically ranked first, the new methodology captures the massive continuous urban sprawl of cities like Jakarta and Dhaka, which now exceed Tokyo's declining population.
