With a population of 1.10 crore, this tech and cultural center currently ranks 32nd in the world rankings. This distance puts it distant from cities like Shanghai, Tokyo, and Delhi, but not far enough to rule out the possibility of becoming a contender in the future. How close is Hyderabad to transforming into one of the most populous cities in the world? That is still an open topic.
With an astounding population of 3.71 crore, Tokyo leads the way on the world scene, followed by Delhi with 5.23 crore. With populations above two crore, other megacities including Shanghai, Dhaka, and Sao Paulo complete the top five. Though Hyderabad's development is speeding up, these cities are the pinnacle of urban expansion. Due to its high population density, which is fueled by a thriving technology sector and an explosively growing economy, this city may soon catch up to the greatest cities in the world.
Hyderabad's trend indicates that, despite its current ranking of 32nd, it has the potential to grow into a future powerhouse. With new innovation parks, a flourishing education sector, and a burgeoning middle class that contributes to the city's demographic growth, the infrastructure is changing quickly. Hyderabad has proven itself as an important actor in the global urban environment, especially with the migration of people from all over India and the world.
However, the issue still stands: Will Hyderabad's quick development be adequate to propel it into the group of the biggest cities in the world, or will it fall behind? We might soon learn if Hyderabad can match the rest of the world in terms of population growth.
