Jianpur, 
India
286,148 people lived in Jianpur in 2025. It is the 2033rd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 330th largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Jianpur governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Jianpur grew
Count 10 people in Jianpur in 2000 and the same count gives 42.8 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 379,330 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2020 and 2025. The UN first counts it as a city in 2000, when it passed 50,000 people.

How to read this: read it left to right, 1975 to 2050, one column every five years, the height being people. Hatching marks the projected years. Below, a strip of the UN's confidence: strong colour where the census maps are recent and detailed, pale where they are not, blank where the place was not counted as a city.

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). Jianpur 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, Jianpur covered 107 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 6.1 km² of it. That is 21 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 2005, its built-up land has grown to 6.1 times its size, and its people are 3.8 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 Jianpur are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2000 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 Jianpur publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
