Tokyo is currently the largest city in the world by population, with over 34 million residents. Urbanization is the increasing percentage of the human population living in cities and urban areas, often at the expense of rural areas. Rapid urbanization has seen the populations of many cities, especially in developing regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, grow rapidly over recent decades. The top 20 largest cities by population in the world are all over 10 million residents, with over half located in Asia.
