1. New York City
2. Mexico City

Are we focus on metro areas or just the city proper?

By city proper:
1. Mexico City
2. New York City
3. Los Angeles
4. Toronto
5. Houston
These stats are almost the same today, and there is little reason they will change in less than 12 years.

The X factor, however, for LA is whether it’s water supply will hold out. An really extended drought could cause a population decrease. (You might see that in Phoenix and San Diego too). If LA leaves these top five, I’d replace it with Chicago. |

No, the X factor is NYC being underwater. I’d replace it with Denver. |

Apparently you’re unaware of desalinization, and recycled water. They’re already using both in San Diego. Once they can get the cost down more, coupled with the fact water is a renewable resource, I wouldn’t worry about it. |

This is only 12 years away.... Not much will change unless a catastrophe strikes one of these cities.
A better gauge would be 2040 or 2050 assuming the general growth trends continue.

That would take a LOT of people moving to Denver in the next 12 years. Building to accommodate that is as close to impossible as I can imagine. |

There will be no change in the next 12 years. None.
