Here are the hierarchical classifications from Wikipedia
Ecumenopolis - a theoretical construction in which the entire area of Earth that is taken up by human settlements, or at least, that those are linked so that to create urban areas so big that they can shape an urban continuum through thousands of kilometers which cannot be considered as a megalopolis. As of the year 2009, the United Nations estimated that for the first time more than 50% of the worldās populations lived in cities, so if these were linked, the total population of this area would be about 3,400,000,000 people as of 2010.
Megalopolis - a group of conurbations, consisting of more than ten million people each.
Conurbation - a group of large cities and their suburbs, consisting of three to ten million people.

The population of a village varies; the average population can range from hundreds to thousands.
Hamlet ā a hamlet has a tiny population (<100) and very few (if any) services, with only a few buildings.
