Qoqand, 
Uzbekistan
308,393 people lived in Qoqand in 2025. It is the 1866th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 8th largest in Uzbekistan.
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 Qoqand's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

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: Uzbekistan and its 76 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Tashkent). Qoqand 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, Qoqand covered 84 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 24 km² of it. That is 79 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 9 by 9 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 3 times its size, and its people are 3.1 times as many.
How to read this: the outer pale square stands for all the land the city covers, and the solid square inside it for the part with buildings, roads and the like on it. All three squares share a scale, so you can compare them by eye. A hatched one is a year the UN has projected.
Of every 100 people in Uzbekistan
Its share of Uzbekistan
Of every 1,000 people in Uzbekistan in 2025, 8 lived in Qoqand, which is 308,393 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Uzbekistan, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Qoqand'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 Qoqand 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 Qoqand publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
