The following is a list of the largest satellite cities worldwide, with over 500,000 people.
In the Pop date column, C stands for census, P for provisional result, E for estimate.
Although the list is ordered by population for ease of reference, the figures are not comparable with each other due to different dates and lack of updates by respective countries.
"Satellite city" may be located both within the municipality and/or adjacent to it, depending on how the area agglomerated.
Some urban districts, as in the case of Wanzhou Urban District in Chongqing Municipality (Province Level), are separated by farmlands from the core metropolitan area and functions as a satellite city in spite of naming.
