Ulipur, 
Bangladesh
167,347 people lived in Ulipur in 2025. It is the 3611th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 83rd largest in Bangladesh.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Ulipur governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Ulipur grew
Where Ulipur had 10 people in 2000, it had 30.6 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 348,815 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 2000, when it passed 50,000 people.
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.

Where it is
How to read this: every dot is one of the 233 cities in Bangladesh in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Dhaka. The ringed dot in colour is Ulipur; 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, Ulipur covered 70 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 2.1 km² of it. That is 13 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 2020, its built-up land has grown by 62%, and its people have grown by 56%.
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.
Of every 100 people in Bangladesh
Its share of Bangladesh
Of every 1,000 people in Bangladesh in 2025, 1 lived in Ulipur, which is 167,347 people.
How to read this: shrink Bangladesh to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Ulipur; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

How to read this: the number before each name is its place among all 12,138 cities in the world in 2025; bars are people, on one scale per list. Only cities that reach 300,000 people have a page here, so a gap in the numbers is a smaller city.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Ulipur are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2000 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 Ulipur publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
