In some countries, the capital and/or largest city is experiencing population decline, including:
- Istanbul (Turkey)
- Seoul (South Korea). According to Korean Times, based on Statistics Korea, the population of the city dropped 861,000 between 2014 and 2024 [KT]. Reasons include more South Korean moving to other South Korean cities than those moving in. Population decline due to low fertility rate and high renting prices are contributing factors.
