I lived in Tokyo, New York, and Mumbai. I think Tokyo is the most organized city in the world, although its gigantic.

[malicious]

Fun fact: Tokyo has a larger population than Canada

[pattobyo]

One of the cool things about Tokyo is that the cityscape basically continues until it just stops and becomes forested mountains or rice paddies / farms. Also, although there is some discrepancy as to whether it deserves the number one spot because their population includes the metropolitan area and not just the city proper itself, I would say it makes sense because you can go from Tokyo, to Kawasaki, to Yokohama all without realizing you have entered different cities. The mass of buildings just doesn't waver.

9:38 Wait, how can Bejing be the most populated capital? You just said that Tokyo, Mexico City, Cairo and Dehli had more population.

A few fun facts about São Paulo, Brazil:
- It has the 5º largest stock market in the world
- It's the largest city in Brazil, but up to the 1950s, some other famous Brazilian cities were larger, such as Rio de Janeiro
- Speaking of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo is actually older than Rio! Rio was founded in 1565, and São Paulo was founded in 1554, just 54 years after the Portuguese explorers arrived. The very first (and oldest) city in Brasil is Porto Seguro, in the state of Bahia
- Not only it has the largest Japanese community outside of Japan, but it is also known for having a large Italian community as well

Fun fact: In 2100 it is predicted that Lagos, Nigeria will be the most populated city in the world, with a mind blowing ~88 million... More than the entirity of Germany today.

[gordonchao]

Fun fact: Shanghai used to be called "mini Suzhou", now Suzhou is called as "mini Shanghai"

In Ireland, the threshold for being counted as being a city is 50, 000. When that law came in, one of our cities actually lost its city status (Kilkenny), though they are allowed to call themselves a city for historical reasons. But on paper it's a town now.

[vncuanto]

Thats why São Paulo is the city with most helicopter fleet in the world and Will be one of the First to have an eVTOL transportation system, as the Brazilian Company Embraer is one of the pioneer in the market and has already orders for its EVTOL all around the world.

[dantemoralesviejazo]

If we use Metropolitan Area, Buenos Aires is the 4th with more population in The Americas after Sao Paulo, Mexico City and New York, literally it holds 1/3 of the Argentinian population lol

*Guys, I used a stock image of a map for the thumbnail. In it, India is missing a part of its territory - I assume because of another country disputing it with them. I’m not saying this territory doesn’t belong to India, it was a neutral position of the map maker to not include it on either country. My apologies if you felt offended!*

[KameroonEmperor]

You just got all of the Pakistani viewers whit that India without Kashmir on the thumbnail lol

[priyanshusingh]

Thumbnail is going to cause a lot of trouble for you my friend 🤷🏻‍♂️

[vinnyzeraBR]

I love your videos mate, and the fact that you (as a Portuguese man) can pronounce Brazilian cities' names properly is a plus. Your videos are so well made I feel like you don't get the recognition you deserve. Top job my friend!



(Legal ver um YouTuber lusófono fazendo sucesso no YouTube gringo, e o jeito que tu fala Inglês é sem sotaque nenhum, só sei que tu é português pq já assisti um vídeo teu em que tu falava kkkk)

My cousin (who lived in Karachi) went to Tokyo for the first time in some special trip back in 2019. He thought Karachi was but after visiting Tokyo, he said Karachi looked little in comparison and he wasn't kidding. He once said, "Even at the top of Tokyo city's most tallest structures, I could only see the city's skyline at the horizon. The country side even on a sunny day wasn't visible at ALL!"

[westwoodnik]

When you think about it, you realize Sao Paulo is the largest city in TWO hemispheres (Western and Southern). At least I think that's true. Mind-blower, if so.

[TheElizondo]

Fun fact, you counted "Ecatepec de Morelos" twice. The 20 million figure for Mexico City includes the surrounding "con-urban" municipalities, which includes Ecatepec. Mexico City proper only has about 9 million inhabitants.
This goes to show how hard it is to delineate a city to count its population, Ecatepec is Mexico's most populous municipality outside Mexico City. But Monterrey is usually considered the second most populous "city" after Mexico City, closely followed by Guadalajara. However, these "cities" are divided and administered as separate municipalities.
