This is an attempt to list the most populous cities in the world defined according to a concept of city proper. A city proper is a locality defined according to legal or political boundaries and an administratively recognized urban status that is usually characterized by some form of local government.[1][2][3] City proper may not include suburbs.[4]

"World Urbanization Prospects", a UN publication, defines population of a city proper as "the population living within the administrative boundaries of a city." The book continues to say that "city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not include suburban areas where an important proportion of the population working or studying in the city lives."[4] However, some cities on this list do not follow this definition, as it can be misleading. For example, many cities in China govern territory that extends well beyond the traditional "city proper" into suburban and rural, and sometimes even include other smaller "cities." Using a strictly administrative definition, cities in China would rank disproportionately high on the list. For this list, the definition of a city as a primarily urban locality is used.

The goal is to provide populations that can be compared reasonably and informatively. This list enumerates populations of the world's largest cities, whose boundaries may or may not correspond to municipalities. Populations listed are not necessarily for the administratively defined city and may be for urban area, metropolitan area, or one of many types of municipality indicated in the Definition column [why?]. Approximate surface area, and population density are also indicated. The list only includes cities of 3 million or over.
