Top 20 countries by people living in cities and towns

Urban population, as each country's statistics office defines urban

Actualizado

Por qué estos 20

World Bank indicator SP.URB.TOTL (UN World Urbanization Prospects): people living in areas the national statistics office calls urban. Each country draws the line differently (a town of 2,000 counts in some, 20,000 in others), so the numbers compare sizes, not the same kind of place.
