Top 11 Largest Cities in the World in 2008 |
Tuesday, 11 November 2008 | ||||
There are some changes that have occured in cities population this year, so I've decided to update this article according to new data. Do you live in a big city or a small town? Which one is better? Sometimes people dispute about this. The truth is both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. It’s up to you! As for me, I love big cities! The big city is the place where all industrial, cultural and educational centers are situated. In big cities you can find museums, theaters, clubs, cinemas, big shops and hospitals, comfortable modern flats. Living in a huge metropolis you’ll never be bored, you can always find something interesting for you. Here is a list of the top 11 largest urban agglomerations in the world. Agglomerations include a central city and neighboring communities linked to it. Some agglomerations have more than one central city. Each of these cities is like a separate small country.
1. Tokyo Position in our list in 2007: 1 (haven't changes)
Population: 23,800,000 Position in our list in 2007: 2 (haven't changed)
Population: 22,800,000 Position in our list in 2007: 3 (haven't changed)
Population: 22,200,000 Position in our list in 2007: 6 (increased)
Population: 22,200,000 Position in our list in 2007: 5 (increased)
Population: 21,900,000 Position in our list in 2007: 4 (decreased) The metropolis of New York (also referred to as "New York City" or "the Big Apple") is at the mouth of the Hudson River in southern New York state. It is part of the Mid-Atlantic region on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA. The New York Metropolitan Area extends across three states—including lower New York (including parts of Long Island), northern New Jersey and parts of southwestern Connecticut. New York City is one of the global centers of international finance, politics, communications, film, music, fashion, and culture, and is among the world's most important and influential cities. It is home to many world-class museums, art galleries, and theatres. Many of the world's largest corporations have their headquarters here. The headquarters of the United Nations is in New York and most countries have a consulate here. Immigrants (and their descendants) from over 180 countries live here, making it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Travelers are attracted to New York City for its culture, energy and cosmopolitanism.
Population: 20,900,000 Position in our list in 2007: 7 (haven't changed)
Population: 19,000,000 Position in our list in 2007: wasn't there, new (increased) The City of Manila is the cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines located in the west coast of the island of Luzon. Up until World War II, Manila was considered one of the most beautiful cities in Asia but the war put the city into complete ruins. It was the second most destroyed city after Warsaw, Poland. But this modern capital-city is the premier Christian city of Asia and considered as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Historic, bustling, awe-inspiring, Manila is a blend of cultures and flavors that offers an endless serving of places to see, sights to behold, and experiences to never forget.
Population: 18,000,000 Position in our list in 2007: 8 (decreased) Los Angeles (City of Angels) is the heart of the second largest metropolitan area in the U.S. and is located on the west coast of California. While it's most famous for Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu Beach, Santa Monica that are just some aspects of this sprawling city. Even before O.J. drove the Bronco or "The Terminator" became governor, Frank Lloyd Wright said, "Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles." Los Angeles is a very diverse city with nearly half of its population being born outside the United States. With temperate weather year-round, and blue skies much of the year, anytime is a good time to visit Los Angeles. There are so many things to see and do in Los Angeles that a single trip just isn't enough.
Population: 17,900,000 Position in our list in 2007: 9 (decreased)
Population: 16,700,000 Position in our list in 2007: 10 (decreased)
