Tokyo Overtaken: How Jakarta Became the World’s Biggest Megacity (UN 2025 Report Explained)

Tokyo is no longer the world’s biggest city – Jakarta has taken the number one spot, with Dhaka rapidly catching up and set to lead by 2050. In this video, we break down the new United Nations 2025 urbanisation report that shows how global megacities are changing. You’ll learn why Jakarta has surged to nearly 42 million people, how Dhaka is projected to reach over 52 million by 2050, and why Tokyo has slipped to third place and is expected to fall to seventh by mid-century. We also explore what defines a megacity (10 million+ people), how their number has quadrupled from 8 in 1975 to 33 in 2025, and why most of them are now in Asia. Next, we look at Europe: why London, Istanbul, and Moscow are the continent’s only megacities, and why London is set to stay the world’s 33rd largest city despite steady growth. Finally, we explain what these trends mean for everyday life – from housing and infrastructure to climate risks and job opportunities – as 45% of the world’s population now lives in cities and urbanisation continues to accelerate. Perfect for viewers interested in geography, global trends, and city planning.
