Awesome quiz, a little different in a cateogry where it's hard to be different - and fairly challenging on the whole.

Benghazi, Libya has enough inhabitants to make this list nowadays. The source you're using only has the figure of 1983.

Onno: You're right, the source wasn't that good, changed the source and done some changes, should be better know.

You can't have Asmara as an answer, it is clearly not on the coast... It is in ethiopian highlands, at more than 1000 meters high. So remove Asmara... Nice quiz for the rest!

Unfortunately, mongabay is a completely unreliable source. It even includes nonexistant cities! I checked the US page for example, which had "New South Memphis" and "South Boston" in the top 25. Other countries showed similiar nonsensical data - and never a note as to how old the data were.

#30 Should be spelled Tangier. Accept Tangier or Tangiers.
