List of cities in the People's Republic of China by urban population
Encyclopedia
This list ranks cities in the People's Republic of China (PRC)
by population within its urban core.
Municipalities and prefecture-level cities are not each a "city
" in the strictest sense of the term, but instead an administrative unit comprising, typically, both an urban core (a city in the strict sense) and surrounding rural
or less-urbanized areas usually many times the size of the central, built-up core. Prefecture-level cities nearly always contain multiple counties, county-level cities, and other such sub-divisions. To distinguish a prefecture-level city from its actual urban area (city in the strict sense), the term 市区 shìqū ("urban area") is used. However, even this term often encompasses large suburban regions often greater than 1000 mi2 (3000 km2)
but does not include rural areas. Thus, the "urban core" would be roughly comparable to the US term "city limit", the "shìqū or urban area" would be roughly comparable to "metropolitan area", and the municipality is a political designation defining regions under control of a municipal government, having no comparable division.
The population of the urban area only is listed below.
The list contains all cities with the administrative designation sub-provincial city
(副省级城市). The majority are "Provincial Capital City" (省会). "SEZ Cities" (Special Economic Zone Cities) (经济特区) are also listed out.

or less-urbanized areas usually many times the size of the central, built-up core. Prefecture-level cities nearly always contain multiple counties, county-level cities, and other such sub-divisions. To distinguish a prefecture-level city from its actual urban area (city in the strict sense), the term 市区 shìqū ("urban area") is used. However, even this term often encompasses large suburban regions often greater than 1000 mi2 (3000 km2)
but does not include rural areas. Thus, the "urban core" would be roughly comparable to the US term "city limit", the "shìqū or urban area" would be roughly comparable to "metropolitan area", and the municipality is a political designation defining regions under control of a municipal government, having no comparable division.
The population of the urban area only is listed below.

or less-urbanized areas usually many times the size of the central, built-up core. Prefecture-level cities nearly always contain multiple counties, county-level cities, and other such sub-divisions. To distinguish a prefecture-level city from its actual urban area (city in the strict sense), the term 市区 shìqū ("urban area") is used. However, even this term often encompasses large suburban regions often greater than 1000 mi2 (3000 km2)
but does not include rural areas. Thus, the "urban core" would be roughly comparable to the US term "city limit", the "shìqū or urban area" would be roughly comparable to "metropolitan area", and the municipality is a political designation defining regions under control of a municipal government, having no comparable division.
The population of the urban area only is listed below.
