As of 2015 the World Bank announced in a report on urbanisation the formation of a new world’s biggest city, in terms of population. It is a contiguous city made up of 4 major conjoined cities that have physically merged into one another - as in one can walk on an urban pavement from one to another surrounded by buildings. This is the Pearl River Metropolis in southern China that has now overtaken Tokyo, centred on Guangzhou, but taking in the megacity of Shenzhen, and the smaller cities of Dongguan and Jiangmen also. All in all it boasts of a contiguous urban population of 41 million, with a metro population of 55 million. It is over the border from Hong Kong but doesn’t count it.

2015年世界銀行在一篇關(guān)于新世界最大城市形成的城市化報(bào)告中指出，就人口而言，這個(gè)聯(lián)合城市由4個(gè)主要城市相連而成，它們?cè)诘乩砩舷嗷ソ粎R——因?yàn)槟阍诔鞘械娜诵械郎暇湍軓囊粋€(gè)城市走進(jìn)另一個(gè)高樓林立的城市，這就是中國(guó)南方的珠三角城市圈，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)超越了東京。這里以廣州為中心，同時(shí)包括大城市深圳，還有較小城市東莞和江門(mén)?？傊@個(gè)城市圈自詡有4100萬(wàn)固定人口，城市總?cè)丝谶_(dá)5500萬(wàn)。這個(gè)城市圈已經(jīng)延伸到了香港，但不包括香港。

Tokyo is about twice the population of NYC. If you go back about twenty-five years, NYC was the second-largest city (after Tokyo), but now (2017) it is only ranked around 9th. This is based on metro area.

東京人口約為紐約市的2倍。如果回到約25年前，紐約市是第二大城市(僅次于東京)，但現(xiàn)在(2017年)僅排在第九位，這是基于繁華程度劃分的。

If you are speaking of population within the city proper, Shanghai comes in first and NYC drops to 23rd.

如果說(shuō)的是城市人口的話，上海排第一，紐約要降到23位了。

HOWEVER, NYC was the world’s largest city in the period from about 1925 until the 1950’s. This may be what you're inquiring about.

然而紐約市從1925年到20世紀(jì)50年代一直是世界最大城市，這可能是你想知道的。

The answers seem to fluctuate on this question a lot and part of it is the definition of a city’s population. If a city is defined by city proper then the most populated city in the world is Shanghai.

這個(gè)問(wèn)題似乎有很多答案，其中有一部分是根據(jù)城市人口定義的。如果根據(jù)城市規(guī)模劃分，那世界上聚居程度最高的城市是上海。

List of cities proper by population – Wikipedia(Cities like Beijing, Tokyo, Mumbai, Karachi, Chongqing, New York etc all fall below Shanghai’s 24 million)

按人口劃分城市規(guī)模的話，來(lái)自維基百科的數(shù)據(jù)是北京、東京、孟買(mǎi)、卡拉奇、重慶、紐約等都沒(méi)有上海的2400萬(wàn)人口多。

If you define city by its metro area then its Tokyo with 37 million people in the metro area.

如果根據(jù)都市區(qū)劃分的話，那東京的市區(qū)有3700萬(wàn)人口。
