Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

In short:

Asia is home to nine of the world's 10 most populous cities in 2025, according to the United Nations.

A new report identifies Jakarta, with 42 million residents, as having the largest population globally.

Tokyo had long held the title as the world's largest city, but its population growth has stagnated.

It's weird to me that someone hasn't heard of one of Asia's major cities! (I don't mean that in a bad way)
