Gonda, 
India
477,697 people lived in Gonda in 2025. It is the 1162nd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 182nd largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Gonda governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Gonda grew
Count 10 people in Gonda in 1975 and the same count gives 23.4 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 616,364 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 1980 and 1985.
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 2,054 cities in India in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being New Delhi. The ringed dot in colour is Gonda; 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, Gonda covered 56 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 6.7 km² of it. That is 14 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 6.7 times its size, and its people are 2.1 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.

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