Akbarpur, 
India
109,949 people lived in Akbarpur in 2025. It is the 5616th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 952nd largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Akbarpur governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
How to read this: each column is one of the UN's five-yearly estimates, 1975 through 2050, and taller means more people. Where a column is hatched the year has not happened yet. The strip under the columns is the UN's own confidence in each figure, palest where it is least sure; where it is blank the city was not on the list at all.

Where it is
How to read this: every dot is one of the 2,054 cities in India in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being New Delhi. The ringed dot in colour is Akbarpur; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Akbarpur covered 31 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 1.5 km² of it. That is 14 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 2015, its built-up land has grown by 50%, and its people have grown by 33%.
How to read this: the outer pale square stands for all the land the city covers, and the solid square inside it for the part with buildings, roads and the like on it. All three squares share a scale, so you can compare them by eye. A hatched one is a year the UN has projected.

How to read this: the figure in front of a name is where that city stands among the 12,138 cities the UN counted in 2025, and each bar is its people, on one scale per list. Numbers are missing where a city has fewer than 300,000 people and so has no page of its own.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Akbarpur are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2005 to 2025, then projection to 2050. Projected years are drawn hatched, and the UN publishes no range of uncertainty for a city. What a city means here, how the UN measures one, and why that number can differ from the one Akbarpur publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
