Gojra, 
Pakistan
340,108 people lived in Gojra in 2025. It is the 1680th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 52nd largest in Pakistan.
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 Gojra'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.

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 Gojra; 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, Gojra covered 23 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.5 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 3.2 times its size, and its people are 3.6 times as many.
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.
Of every 100 people in Pakistan
Its share of Pakistan
Of every 1,000 people in Pakistan in 2025, 1 lived in Gojra, which is 340,108 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares, one for every 1,000th person in Pakistan; the coloured squares live in Gojra. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

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