Kasur, 
Pakistan
609,468 people lived in Kasur in 2025. It is the 890th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 25th largest in Pakistan.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Kasur governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

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.

How to read this: Pakistan and its 323 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Karachi). Kasur 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, Kasur covered 40 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 8.7 km² of it. That is 14 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 2.5 times its size, and its people are 2.5 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.
Of every 100 people in Pakistan
Its share of Pakistan
Of every 1,000 people in Pakistan in 2025, 2 lived in Kasur, which is 609,468 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Pakistan, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Kasur's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

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