Turin, 
Italy
1,150,975 people lived in Turin in 2025. It is the 447th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 4th largest in Italy.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Turin governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Turin grew
Count 10 people in Turin in 1975 and the same count gives 9 in 2025 — the city lost people.
On the UN's projection it will have 1.0 million people in 2050.
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.

Turin through your family’s years
Put in the years your family were born. You’ll see how many people lived in Turin in each of those years, and when each of them turned 30.

Where it is
How to read this: every dot is one of the 95 cities in Italy in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Naples. The ringed dot in colour is Turin; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Turin covered 159 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 44 km² of it. That is 38 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown by 11%, and its people have fallen by 10%.
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 Italy
Its share of Italy
Of every 100 people in Italy in 2025, 2 lived in Turin, which is 1.2 million people.
How to read this: shrink Italy to 100 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Turin; 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 Turin 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 Turin publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
