Answer 1

Shanghai, China, Sao Paolo, Brazil, Seoul, North Korea, and Moscow, Russia are next.

Answer 2

What? Hong Kong? in Korea? Come on!!! Most populated city, meaning a city with the most polulation.... definately not Hong Kong and not in Korea.

Hong Kong has only about 7 million population. If I am not mistaken, it could be Tokyo, or Shanghai, or Mexico, or maybe in US. I can't really remember.

But Hong Kong was once has the most density (or which word I should use?)... meaning in the smallest area lives the most people. It count by per sq meter lives the most people.... Unless some other cities overtakes her, otherwise, Hong Kong is having the most people living in a small square meter. Therefore you see high rise buinding, be it offices or apartment, anywhere in Hong Kong. Because Hongkies has not enough land to use.

Answer 3

Well...the worlds most populated country is China. But the worlds largest country is Russia. Currently, Seoul (Korea) is the most populated country with over 10 million people. However, Mexico City is the largest city on Earth
