Dnipro, 
Ukraine
792,115 people lived in Dnipro in 2025. It is the 670th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 4th largest in Ukraine.
This is the UN's built-up area, drawn from satellite pictures and census maps rather than from the city limits, and the two can be a long way apart. The rule behind it.

How Dnipro grew
For every 10 people in Dnipro in 1975, there were 8.2 in 2025: it shrank.
On the UN's projection it will have 706,711 people in 2050. It passed a million people between 1975 and 1980.
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: every dot is one of the 79 cities in Ukraine in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Kiev. The ringed dot in colour is Dnipro; 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, Dnipro covered 200 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 44 km² of it. That is 56 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 7 by 7 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown by 25%, and its people have fallen by 18%.
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 Ukraine
Its share of Ukraine
Of every 100 people in Ukraine in 2025, 2 lived in Dnipro, which is 792,115 people.
How to read this: 100 squares stand for everyone in Ukraine, one square for every 100th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Dnipro's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

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 Dnipro 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 Dnipro publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
