Conacry, 
Guinea
Coyah
2,727,684 people lived in Conacry in 2025. It is the 182nd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the largest in Guinea.
The UN measures every city in the world the same way, by where the buildings are rather than where the boundary runs, so this figure and Conacry's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.
In its own language: Coyah.

How Conacry grew
Count 10 people in Conacry in 1975 and the same count gives 44.4 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 3.4 million people in 2050. It passed a million people between 1990 and 1995.
projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
How to read this: one column every five years, 1975 to 2050; its height is the number of people. Hatched columns are the UN's projection. The thin strip beneath says how sure the UN is of each figure: the stronger the colour, the surer. A blank means the place was not on the UN's list of cities that year.

Where it is
How to read this: Guinea and its 24 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people. Conacry is ringed, in colour; the other cities are grey. Neighbouring countries are outlines.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Conacry covered 308 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 88 km² of it. That is 32 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 2 times its size, and its people are 4.4 times as many.
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 Guinea
Its share of Guinea
Of every 100 people in Guinea in 2025, 18 lived in Conacry, which is 2.7 million people.
How to read this: shrink Guinea to 100 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Conacry; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

In Guinea, 2025
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 Conacry are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1975 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 Conacry publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
