Hehe Celeste, from Farmington, Utah Dear Celeste, Actually, I couldn’t get an exact count. The number changes too fast. But it would be save to say that there are over 55,000 cities in the world. The number of cities with populations over 1 million are 416, those with populations over 4 million are 146, and those with populations over 12 million are only 11.
