MUMBAI: The urban agglomerations of Mumbai and Delhi, which barely matched up to global cities in size in 1950, are now counted among the seven most populous mega-cities in the world, reveals the 2013 World Population Data Sheet released by the US's Population Reference Bureau on Thursday.
Mumbai, in terms of its Mumbai Metropolitan Region (including Navi Mumbai, Thane and Vasai-Virar among other satellite belts), houses around 19.7 million persons and ranks seventh in the world. It was ranked 17th in 1950, the earliest year for which data is available.
