Editing List of cities in North Korea (section)

==List==
;Notes:
* All population figures come from the [[2008 North Korean census]].
* Several former special cities have been re-merged with their provinces, including [[Chongjin]], [[Hamhung]] and [[Kaesong]].
* [[Rason]] was annexed into [[North Hamgyong Province]] in 2004, but was later promoted back to special city in 2010 to help manage it for foreign investment.
* [[Chosŏn'gŭl]] has replaced [[Hancha]]; Hancha has not been officially used in North Korea since the 1950s.
