As the population of the world approaches 7 billion people , I was thinking what the city populations will be then . Please include US and World Cities of the top ten. Also include when you think world population will reach 7 billion . World population now is around 6.9 billion people. As you know, population of the world will likely reach point this year. What month? What day?
