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

Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Dagupan [Lingayen] covered 360 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 25 km² of it. That is 26 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1985, its built-up land has grown to 9.3 times its size, and its people are 10.2 times as many.
How to read this: pale is the whole of the city's land; the stronger square inside it is what is actually built on. The three are drawn to the same scale, so a larger square really is more land, and hatching means the year is the UN's projection rather than a count.

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 Dagupan [Lingayen] are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1985 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 Dagupan [Lingayen] publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
