World agglomerations — UN WUP 2025 estimates

The world's 100 largest metropolitan areas by agglomeration population (not the administrative city alone) — a points layer, proportional circles, with automatic clustering on zoom-out.

United Nations, World Urbanization Prospects 2025 — 2025 estimates.

Circle size encodes agglomeration population.

Jakarta (41.9 million people) leads ahead of Dhaka (36.6 million) and Tokyo (33.4 million) — a podium illustrating the shift of the world's urban weight toward Asia, where population growth and rural exodus remain fastest, well ahead of North America's and Europe's historic megacities.
