#Delhi now 2nd most populous city in world

Delhi has become the world’s second most populous city after Tokyo, more than doubling its population since 1990 to 25 million, according to a UN report.
The 2014 revision of the World Urbanisation Prospects launched on Thursday said India was projected to add the highest number of people to its urban population by 2050, ahead of China.
The Indian capital was expected to retain the spot of the world’s second most populous city through at least 2030, when its population was expected to rise swiftly to 36 million, according to the report.
