As of 2007, the world population reached 6.6 billion.[1] In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that were unprecedented prior to the 20th century, although the rate of increase has almost halved since growth rates reached their peak in 1963.

Or better asking: Where will you be, if by 2050 we will have reached 9.4 Billion? (Oh, wait - that's in 40years... *scratches head* I will be... 78 )
Wait, we also got the (actual) numbers about the population in a few cities worldwide:
Tokyo - 36.798.213
NYC - 22.531.069
Mexico City - 22.414.319
Seoul - 22.173.711
Mumbai - 19.944.372
Sao Paolo - 19.357.485
Jakarta - 17.928.968
Manila - 17.843.620
Los Angeles - 17.767.199
Delhi 17.753.087

Not sure what website you got "actual" figures for the year 2050 but I'm sure it's quite a reputable one.

The population of New York has essentially leveled off since the 1950s. Even the wikipedia knows that.
In fact, if you look at "actual" data from years that have actually happened, you'll see that the city center of Manhattan peaked in 1910 and has fallen by about 25% of it's population since.
The current population of NYC is 100,000 people more than it was in 1950. That's nothing in a city of 8 mil. especially since it dropped considerably from 1950 to 1980. Not sure what idiot figured that if it rose by 100,000 in the last 50 years that would justify it rising by 16 MILLION over the next 50 years.
There are certainly a few nooks and crannies of the outerburroughs that aren't full yet, but I wouldn't expect Manhattan to grow much at all in the next 50 years.

Overpopulation is the condition of any organism's numbers exceeding the carrying capacity of its ecological niche. In common parlance, the term usually refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment, the Earth.
Overpopulation is not simply a function of the size or density of the population, but rather the number of individuals compared to the resources (for example, food production or water resources) needed for survival or well-being. Overpopulation can be determined using the ratio of population to available resources. If a given environment has a population of ten, but there is food or drinking water enough for only nine, then that environment is overpopulated; if the population is 100 individuals but there is food, shelter or water enough for 200, then it is not. Overpopulation can result from increases in births, a decline in mortality rates due to medical advances, from an increase in immigration, a decrease in emigration, or from an unsustainable use and depletion of resources. It is possible for very sparsely-populated areas to be "overpopulated", as the area in question may have a very meager or non-existent capability to sustain human life (e.g. the middle of the Sahara desert or Antarctica).
The resources to be considered when evaluating whether an ecological niche is overpopulated include clean water, clean air, food, shelter, warmth, and other resources necessary to sustain life. If the quality of human life is addressed as well, there are then additional resources to be considered, such medical care, employment, money, education, fuel, electricity, proper sewage treatment, waste management, and transportation. Negative impacts should also be considered including crowding stress and increased pollution. If addressing the environment as a whole, the survival and well-being of species other than humans must also be considered.
Overpopulation is also related to issues of birth control, with some nations like China using strict measures in order to reduce birth rates, while religious and ideological opposition to birth control has been cited as a factor contributing to overpopulation and poverty.
