Jigani, 
India
301,763 people lived in Jigani in 2025. It is the 1901st largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 311th largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Jigani governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Jigani grew
For every 10 people in Jigani in 1990, there were 57.6 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 356,344 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2005 and 2010. The UN first counts it as a city in 1990, when it passed 50,000 people.
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: Jigani 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, Jigani covered 63 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 16 km² of it. That is 54 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 7 by 7 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 12.5 times its size, and its people are 3.8 times as many.
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.

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 Jigani are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1990 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 Jigani publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
