Gyanpur, 
India
1,237,249 people lived in Gyanpur in 2025. It is the 412th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 66th largest in India.
Like every city on this site, Gyanpur is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How Gyanpur grew
Count 10 people in Gyanpur in 1975 and the same count gives 60.7 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 1.8 million people in 2050. It passed a million people between 2015 and 2020.
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: Gyanpur is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of India in 2025, 2,054 in all, led by New Delhi, each drawn with an area that matches its people. Countries next door are outlines only.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Gyanpur covered 508 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 25 km² of it. That is 21 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1990, its built-up land has grown to 14.1 times its size, and its people are 5.7 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 India
Its share of India
Of every 1,000 people in India in 2025, 1 lived in Gyanpur, which is 1.2 million people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in India, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Gyanpur's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

How to read this: the number before each name is its place among all 12,138 cities in the world in 2025; bars are people, on one scale per list. Only cities that reach 300,000 people have a page here, so a gap in the numbers is a smaller city.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Gyanpur 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 Gyanpur publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
