Dina, 
Pakistan
196,799 people lived in Dina in 2025. It is the 3042nd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 93rd largest in Pakistan.
Like every city on this site, Dina is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

On the UN's projection it will have 338,146 people in 2050. On the UN's projection it passes 250,000 people between 2030 and 2035. The UN first counts it as a city in 1995, when it passed 50,000 people.
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 323 cities in Pakistan in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Karachi. The ringed dot in colour is Dina; 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, Dina covered 47 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 6.0 km² of it. That is 30 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 5.5 times its size, and its people are 3.7 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.
Of every 100 people in Pakistan
Its share of Pakistan
Of every 1,000 people in Pakistan in 2025, 1 lived in Dina, which is 196,799 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares, one for every 1,000th person in Pakistan; the coloured squares live in Dina. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

How to read this: names are in order of size, the leading number being each city's rank among all 12,138 in 2025; the bars share a scale within a list. A jump in the ranks means a city under 300,000 people, which is not given a page here.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Dina are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1995 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 Dina publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
