''World Urbanization Prospects'', a [[United Nations|UN]] publication, defines population of a city proper as "the population living within the administrative boundaries of a city or controlled directly from the city by a single authority." The book continues to say that "city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not include suburban areas where an important proportion of the population working or studying in the city lives."<ref name="wup2003" /> This definition does not give an accurate picture of the [[List of urban areas by population|urban area]] or [[List of metropolitan areas by population|metropolitan area]] of cities. Using this strictly administrative definition, many cities will be included on this list that are smaller than their urban area. However, many Chinese cities included govern territories that extend well beyond the traditional "city proper" into suburban and rural areas.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Alexander|first1=Ruth|title=The world's biggest cities: How do you measure them?|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16761784|date=29 January 2012|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=16 March 2015}}</ref>
