==Definitions used here==

Most of the data for this list were compiled from the 2005 [[urban agglomeration]] population figures from the [[United Nations]] [[2005]] World Urbanization Prospects Report.<ref name="UNWUP">[http://esa.un.org/unup/ United Nations World Urbanization Prospects: 2005 Revision]</ref> These figures representinclude a single urban/employment center and its immediately surrounding [[suburb|suburban area]]s. Figures with notations are from the indicated sources instead of the UN report.

Unless otherwise specified, figures are based on rough estimates for the year [[2005]] and rounded to the nearest 1,000. Despite the standing of the organisation behind the figures, the appropriateness and consistency of the boundaries used is controversial and the aforementioned warnings apply.
