Johannesburg has an estimated 2016 population of 4.4 million, while the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area has a population estimated at 8 million, unofficially. If the metropolitan area is defined loosely to include areas like the West Rand and Lenasia, the population is about 10.5 million.
Interestingly, Johannesburg has the largest man-made forest in the world with about 6 million trees. Johannesburg grew overnight when gold was discovered in 1896, drawing people from around the world. By 1931, the population had reached 400,000, which then doubled during the Second WorldWar. In 1995, the UN estimated the Johannesburg metropolitan area had a population of 1.8 million. Johannesburg experienced some decline in the 1990s, although is is now experiencing rapid growth once more. According to the City of Johannesburg, the city needs a plan for a population growth of about 66% in the next 30 years, which includes plans to improve access to clean water, energy and the management of waste and sanitation. Johannesburg is projected to grow to 6.5 million by 2040.
