Future City Populations

New York held the title of the world's largest city from 1925 until 1965, when Tokyo took over and still maintains that status today. However, projections indicate that by 2050, Mumbai could become the largest city with a population of 42 million, while Tokyo may see a stable population due to Japan's shrinking demographics. The landscape of urban populations is rapidly changing, with Lagos potentially becoming the largest city by 2100, boasting over 88 million residents.
