I don't understand this graph. Does it mean directly North? All cities combined? Why isn't there one city for every longitude?
Edit, nevermind, I got it. It's by latitude, the next biggest number as it travels south. The title is confusing, though.
Maybe this clarifies for others: there's no City south of Tokyo with a population bigger than Tokyo. Tokyo and Seoul are the only cities south of NY that have larger populations. And etc.
Excluding southern hémisphère I guess.

No settlement in any hemisphere has a population larger than the Tokyo area’s
Yep makes sense now, I let myself get bamboozled by the logic of this (not about the fact Tokyo is the biggest city).
I’m glad you wrote this because it was exactly what I needed to wrap my head around it too.
