World Population Day is an annual event returning this year on Monday July 11.
The event was created in 1989 by the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme to focus attention on the important issues of population around the world.
Sheffield has a current population of 740,532, which is 0.7 per cent increase on the previous year where the population was 735,292.
To commemorate the annual event, we have taken a look at 10 major cities from across the globe which have similar populations to our city.
