Bangladesh

Like every city on this site, Bhuapur is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How to read this: read it left to right, 1975 to 2050, one column every five years, the height being people. Hatching marks the projected years. Below, a strip of the UN's confidence: strong colour where the census maps are recent and detailed, pale where they are not, blank where the place was not counted as a city.

Where it is
How to read this: Bhuapur is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of Bangladesh in 2025, 233 in all, led by Dhaka, each drawn with an area that matches its people. Countries next door are outlines only.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Bhuapur covered 43 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.
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.
Of every 100 people in Bangladesh
Its share of Bangladesh
Of every 1,000 people in Bangladesh in 2025, 1 lived in Bhuapur, which is 105,501 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Bangladesh, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Bhuapur's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

How to read this: the number before each name is its place among all 12,138 cities in the world in 2025; bars are people, on one scale per list. Only cities that reach 300,000 people have a page here, so a gap in the numbers is a smaller city.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Bhuapur are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2025 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 Bhuapur publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
