Delingat, 
Egypt
125,765 people lived in Delingat in 2025. It is the 4864th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 93rd largest in Egypt.
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 Delingat's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

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.

Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Delingat covered 23 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 3.2 km² of it. That is 25 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 2.9 times its size, and its people have grown by 65%.
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 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 Delingat are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1990 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 Delingat publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
