I second Kinshasa, it has a population of 17 million and across the Congo river is Brazzaville the capital of the Republic of the Congo with a population of 2 million and they are not even connected by a bridge! Only connected by ferry. Although there is a bridge proposed set to be completed by 2028.

Well Kinshasa isn’t even on the list, so I think the answer is still it, find me a larger city that isn’t on that list?

I think if you have to ask that question there's a global city awareness problem. In what world would Berlin or Washington DC not be considered global cities? (Beta+ cities according to that ranking).

The GAWC is a very narrow measurement and doesn't really work to measure how "global" a city is.

I mean, Kathmandu was off the 2020 list in favor of the global metropolis of Saskatoon
