Question

According to the just released 11th edition of Demographia World Urban Areas (Built-Up Urban Areas or World Agglomerations), there are now 34 urban areas in the world with more than 10 million
residents, the minimum qualification for megacity status. Tokyo-Yokohama continues its 60 year leads the world's largest urban area. Before Tokyo-Yokohama, New York had been the world's largest urban area for 30 years. London's run, preceding that of New York, was much longer, at more than 100 years. Beijing, which was the first of today's megacities to reach 1,000,000 population, held the title for 75 years before London, according to census and urban historian Tertius Chandler.Largest Cities in 2015
Tokyo-Yokohama grew to 37.8 million residents, the largest urban area population ever recorded. But
secundári ranking Jakarta is moving up quickly, becoming the second urban area in history to exceed
30 million residents (30.6 million). Regrettably, Jakarta is often left off world city top ten lists, because the continuous urbanization extending into
the regencies of Tangerang, Bogor, Bekasi and Karawang usually excluded (see The Evolving Urban Form: Jakarta). Regencies are national
second level jurisdictions, within the provinces that
make up Indonesia.As indicated in a recent article (World Megacities: Densities Fall as they Become Larger), the number of megacities rose from 29 to 34 (megacities are urban areas with more than 10 million residents). These include Tianjin and Chengdu in China, Lahore (Pakistan), Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Lima (Peru). China now leads the world with six (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou-Foshan, Shenzhen, Tianjin and
Chengdu). The ten largest urban areas are shown in Figure 3 and detailed population data is in Table 1 of World Urban Areas.
Where Urban Population is Growing Asia's has more than half (57 percent) of the population
in cities of 500,000 and more (Figure 4). This is more than
four times the population of such cities in North America,
five times that of Africa and Europe and approximately
six times that of South America. With stagnant population growth in the high income world and declines in some
nations, there is every reason to believe that urbanization
in North America and Europe will continue to decline relative to that of Asia, Africa and South America.There are two generic definitions of cities: urban areas and metropolitan areas. Urban areas define the physical expanse of cities, which is the area of continuous urban development. The second definition for cities is economic. The economic
city is the metropolitan area, which includes the urban area
and economically connected territory outside the urban área.An urban area is a continuously built up land mass of urban development that is within a labor market (metropolitan area or metropolitan region). As a part of a labor market, an urban area cannot cross customs controlled boundaries unless the virtually free movement of labor is permitted. An urban area contains no rural land (all land in the world that is not urban is considered rural.

Answer 1

Resposta:

Tokyo- Yokohama continues its 60 year leads the world's largest urban area. Tokyo-Yokohama grew to 37.8 million residents,  the largest urban area population ever recorded. But second ranking Jakarta is moving up quickly,  becoming the second urban area in history to exceed  30 million residents (30.6 million).

The number  of megacities rose from 29 to 34 (megacities are  urban areas with more than 10 million residents).
