List of cities in the People's Republic of China

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of cities in the People's Republic of China provides an overview of the development of the population of the larger urban settlements of the People's Republic of China , i.e. cities in a geographical sense. The largest cities within their administrative boundaries and the largest cities in the country are also listed.

overview

The administrative structure of the People's Republic of China includes provinces, cities directly under the government, special administrative areas and autonomous regions . The provinces and autonomous regions are largely divided into district-free cities . Their number has increased since 1983, as most of the administrative districts and confederations were gradually converted into district-free cities. There are currently only 50 administrative districts, federations and autonomous districts left in all of China. The administrative area of ​​a district-free as well as a city directly under the government is often the size of German federal states . It includes both the actual urban area and the surrounding greater region, i.e. large areas with a rural settlement structure. Therefore, in addition to urban districts , these cities usually also include independent cities and districts (in Inner Mongolia, banners ).

The territory of an independent city, the lowest city level in China, usually encompasses the entire area of ​​a district, not just urban areas. Overall, there are cities in China on three levels (direct government, district-free and district-free). In all three cases, the administrative areas are much larger than the actual city in the sense of an urban settlement area. Therefore almost all urban districts have at least 500,000 inhabitants within their administrative boundaries and almost all urban districts at least 100,000 inhabitants. If the political borders are taken as a basis, the government-direct city of Chongqing is the largest city in the world with a population of 32 million (2007). The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region , which is politically and administratively to be regarded as one city, geographically consists of several urban settlement areas.

On December 31, 2006 in the People's Republic of China:

  • 4 cities directly under the government (直辖市 zhíxiáshì)
  • 283 prefecture-level cities (地 級 市 dìjíshì)
  • 369 independent cities (县級 市 / 縣級 市 xiànjíshì)

Metropolitan regions by population

The following table shows the largest metropolitan regions in the People's Republic of China as of January 1, 2009. (The population data as of November 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015 are added) Not yet included is Shenzhen, which has grown to a population of 28 million .

Urban settlements by population

The following table contains all urban settlements that, according to the census on November 1, 2010, had more than 500,000 inhabitants, their names in German transliteration and in Chinese, as well as the results of the censuses (VZ) of July 1, 1990, November 1, 2000 and November 1, 2010. Urban settlements were also listed, for example Jiangjin , which legally are not cities, but instead subdivisions of larger cities (in this case Chongqing ).

The higher-level administrative unit at provincial level ( province , autonomous region , city immediately after the government , special administrative zone ) to which the urban settlement belongs is also listed. Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China and the second largest urban settlement in the country (after Shanghai).

Hong Kong and Macau were censored in 1991 and 2001. The results can be found in the column for 1990 and 2000. The population figures refer to the respective urban settlement - the core city - not to the city or municipality within their political boundaries (see district-free city ).

The last census took place on November 1, 2010 . The next census will take place in 2020.

Cities by population

The following table contains all cities in the People's Republic of China with more than five million inhabitants, their names in German transcription and in Chinese spelling, as well as the results of the census of November 1, 2010.

No census was carried out in Hong Kong in 2010, so an estimate by the National Bureau of Statistics in China is given for that day. In addition to the registered residents with permanent residence (户口, hùkǒu ), the population figures also include temporary residents (流动 人口, liúdòng rénkǒu) with a temporary residence permit (暂住 证, zànzhùzhèng). The superordinate administrative unit at the provincial level ( province , autonomous region , city directly to the government , special administrative zone ) to which the city belongs is also listed. All information relates to the cities within their administrative boundaries.

The administrative areas of the cities are often the size of German federal states such as Hesse , Thuringia or Saarland . They extend geographically over several urban settlements and mostly include large areas with a rural settlement structure. The population density of Chinese cities is therefore often lower than that of cities in Germany. The 28.8 million inhabitants of Chongqing, the largest city in China, for example, are spread over an area that is about the size of Austria . The population density is 370 inhabitants per square kilometer. In comparison, in Berlin , the largest city in Germany with 3.4 million inhabitants , there are 3,800 inhabitants per square kilometer. The following cities are therefore more comparable to German administrative districts or US counties .
