A city proper is a locality defined according to legal orpolitical boundaries and an administratively recognized urban statusthat is usually characterized by some form of local government.[1] [2] [3]

"World Urbanization Prospects", a United Nations publication, definesthe population of a city proper as "the population living within theadministrative boundaries of a city."[4] The book continues to say that"city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not includesuburban areas where an important proportion of the populationworking or studying in the city lives."

The administrative city proper may correspond to a single municipality or may consist of a well-defined assembly ofseveral local government units. The populations listed are for the administratively-defined city and not for the urbanarea nor the metropolitan area.[5] Statistical definitions for each city, approximate surface area, and populationdensity are also indicated. The term city can take on many meanings throughout the world. For the purposes of thislist, the definition of a city as a primarily urban locality is used.[6] This list enumerates the population of some of theworld's largest cities, the boundaries of which may or may not correspond to those of municipalities.
