Manfalut, 
Egypt
224,667 people lived in Manfalut in 2025. It is the 2627th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 64th largest in Egypt.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Manfalut governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Manfalut grew
Where Manfalut had 10 people in 1980, it had 39.5 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 462,885 people in 2050. On the UN's projection it passes 250,000 people between 2030 and 2035. The UN first counts it as a city in 1980, 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: Egypt and its 219 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Cairo). Manfalut 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, Manfalut covered 40 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.0 km² of it. That is 22 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 5 times its size, and its people are 4 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 Egypt
Its share of Egypt
Of every 1,000 people in Egypt in 2025, 2 lived in Manfalut, which is 224,667 people.
How to read this: shrink Egypt to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Manfalut; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out 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 Manfalut are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1980 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 Manfalut publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
