Shanghai jumped from 13.3 million (1990) to 16.4 million (2000) and 23.0 million (2010), so they did added 650k people/year.
Seoul didn't: 1.0 million (1950), 2.7 million (1960), 5.3 million (1970), 8.2 million (1980) and 10.5 million (1990). 300k in the 1970's were their peak. Adding Incheon (600k to 1 million 1970-1980) and Gyeongg (3.3 million to 4.9 million 1970-1980), which was mostly rural around that time, we get 500k/year.
In Latin America, São Paulo posted the fastest growth: 2.6 million (1950), 4.7 million (1960), 8.1 million (1970), 12.6 million (1980), 15.4 million (1991), with a 450k/year average in the 1970's and might have crossed the 500k in one or two years in that decade.
