Guna, 
India
271,913 people lived in Guna in 2025. It is the 2138th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 344th largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Guna governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Guna grew
Count 10 people in Guna in 1975 and the same count gives 38.7 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 307,746 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2010 and 2015.
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: India and its 2,054 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is New Delhi). Guna 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, Guna covered 31 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 4.4 km² of it. That is 16 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 3.4 times its size, and its people are 2 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.

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