1270 CE

A Song census of the Chinese city of Hangzhou in 1270 establishes that some 186,330 families reside within it, not including visitors and soldiers.

(Historian Jacques Gernet argues that this means a population of over one million inhabitants, making Hangzhou the most populous city in the world at this time.)
