Dusuq, 
Egypt
366,123 people lived in Dusuq in 2025. It is the 1567th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 37th 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 Dusuq's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

How Dusuq grew
Count 10 people in Dusuq in 1975 and the same count gives 38 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 646,312 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2000 and 2005.
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: Egypt and its 219 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Cairo). Dusuq 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, Dusuq covered 38 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.9 km² of it. That is 16 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 4.5 times its size, and its people are 3.8 times as many.
How to read this: each pale square is the city's whole area, the strong square inside it the part that is built on; one scale for all three, so a bigger square is more land. Hatched is the UN's projection.
Of every 100 people in Egypt
Its share of Egypt
Of every 1,000 people in Egypt in 2025, 3 lived in Dusuq, which is 366,123 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Egypt, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Dusuq's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

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