Ivanovo, 
Russia
372,200 people lived in Ivanovo in 2025. It is the 1532nd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 37th largest in Russia.
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 Ivanovo's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

How Ivanovo grew
For every 10 people in Ivanovo in 1975, there were 7.9 in 2025: it shrank.
On the UN's projection it will have 341,983 people in 2050.
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 254 cities in Russia in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Moscow. The ringed dot in colour is Ivanovo; 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, Ivanovo covered 75 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 18 km² of it. That is 47 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 7 by 7 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown by 26%, and its people have fallen by 21%.
How to read this: pale is the whole of the city's land; the stronger square inside it is what is actually built on. The three are drawn to the same scale, so a larger square really is more land, and hatching means the year is the UN's projection rather than a count.
Of every 100 people in Russia
Its share of Russia
Of every 1,000 people in Russia in 2025, 3 lived in Ivanovo, which is 372,200 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Russia, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Ivanovo'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 Ivanovo 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 Ivanovo publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
