What is a city ? This question will arise in our mind. A city is a large town with a large amount of human settlement. Indian has more than forty six densely populated cities.
We first discuss the population in a city. Generally cities have high population density and population growth rate. Population growth rate is the ratio of total number of lives added over a year.

Death rate is the number of deaths over a period of time. In India several cities have high population which croseed more than One million. The population in the cities is increasing every year so there may be some variations in the next census.
