Over the last few decades, the world's population has gone from being mostly rural to mostly urban. Much of that growth has taken place in countries that are experiencing rapid economic development. More than half of the world's population currently lives in cities—and as time goes on, it's clear that more urban dwellers will find themselves living in megacities.
Not surprisingly, many of the world's most populous cities are found in the two most populous countries in the world, China and India. Shanghai and Beijing have populations of 25 and 22 million respectively, while Delhi and Mumbai have populations of 27 million and 21.5 million respectively.
This geography quiz will test your knowledge of the locations of some of the world's cities and capitals. For each named city, identify the country in which it is located. If the city is in multiple countries, we are referring to the most populous one. If you can get most of these right on the first try, your geography trivia knowledge is impressive!

I got 13 out of 25!
Solid foundation! You didn’t obliterate this quiz, but you’ve proven that you have the potential to know most of the large cities in the world. For that, you deserve a pat on the back. Nice job!
