Are you from The U.K.? I know you use kilometers since the majority of the world uses them as measurements, but I noticed the video began with a zoom in onto The U.K. Also, why do you have both English and Spanish text in the descriptions and comments? Are you Latino?
Agreed. City proper would still be very unhelpful as a comparison, but at least it'd be the equivalent official thing. Metropolitan region is counted differently from country to country, as are even continuous built-up area! Megapolitan and continuous built-up areas would be most fun to see compared. Maybe use the Nordic definition for continuous built-up area? i.e. if there's 200 meters or less between 2 buildings it is connected! (we're not very dense places, so this makes sense here :) ) I do wonder what Shanghai and Guangzhou would be like with those rules :D
@@GustavSvard Yeah, like the NE megaopolis. The US East coast is so built up, you could go from Richmond to Boston without being more than 45 minutes from a city.
Isn't that the urban area ? The urban area is the most sensible way to measure cities. As urban areas and cities were historically always the same thing until the 20th century.
@@xenotypos no a city has limits, a metropolitan has multiple cities and towns that make up the area. the video would have been correct if it was titled largest urban areas but saying cities a lot of this information is incorrect
@@thecolorblack4778 It's still cities broadly speaking, even if it's not the administrative limits. Both ways are valid in terms of semantics, but maybe it could have been mentioned somewhere I admit. Btw a metropolitan area (afaik) isn't an urban area, as a metroplolitan area isn't a contiguous urbanized area (= it's possible to have empty areas), while an urban area is really just the densely populated area. That's why in the end, urban areas are a better indicator.
Idea for a future video: Fictional landmass size comparison, where you’d compare the size of places like Middle Earth, Westeros, Gotham City, Wakanda, Panem, The Nations in Avatar and many more.
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro "cities" shown here are actually their whole metropolitan area, comprised of more than 10 proper cities each, and I'm pretty sure the same thing happens with these bigger cities. Quite unfair, since the smaller cities shown are actual cities and not metropolitan areas as a whole
To me, all cities should've been represented as metropolitan, since in daily life we cruise in between freely, as it's one seeing from above. A person who lives in a metropolitan area of a capital can go work, shop, everything, easily by automobiles, subways and etc.
@@gemstonesparkle7915 You can do the same in two cities with a short space divide them, but they are still two cities. Metropolitan cities is not fair because they include many cities, and other cities are big but don't have many other cities around them.
It was also the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, and the Beijing city proper. Difference there because a city is always smaller in size than it’s metro area
Totally agree. If you take Milan at 2:46 as example, official datas for the city states it to be 181.67 square km with a population of around 1,400,000. He is taking into account the "greater area", including all the sorroundings.
@@xq.tobias hahah and Dubai and abo Dhabi bigger than casablanca morocco this video very Funny haha and population of casablanca is 4 million hahahah im moroccan casablanca population is 10 milion
Indeed. This video is STRAIGHT FROM THE BULLSHIT DEPARTMENT. "Apples and oranges" doesn't even begin to describe it. It compares a few actual cities with completely different officially designated agglomerations and even with so called "urban areas" which are not necessarily centred around a single city, and where most inhabitants will not even step foot in the cities named in this video in an average week, let alone identify with them. "Brussels" is a case in point. The city of Brussels has +/- 150,000 inhabitants but forms a special federal district (like DC, Brasilia, Canberra and the like) with 18 other municipalities. Total area 165 km², total population 1.1 million, all of whom will call themselves Brusseleir or Bruxellois. The 792 km² that MetaBallStudios artificially formed here includes bits of two different provinces, with two different languages and where people are likely to go to places like Mechelen, Antwerp, or Wavre much more frequently than to Brussels itself. And very few of them would consider themselves to be from Brussels. Last but not least, most of that area is forest and farms. It's a classic example of reading the world through Anglo-Saxon glasses. It never works.
Not sure about this video compared to the usual ones which are brilliant... Some are cities and others are metropolitan areas. It's like comparing apples and oranges so the overall picture is very distorted
This is based on developed landmass. It is all the same distinction for every listed area. The contiguous, non-rural development in square kilometers that spreads out from the urban core that is hemmed in by rural area.
I think most get the jest.. The city proper is usually the economic engine of the surrounding area. Washington DC metro area is called the "DMV" locally for example (Dc/Md/northern Va). Without the city proper, the surrounding metro areas wouldn't exist.
@@Rafael-jn6iv Argentina: 45 millions, 1/3 in Buenos Aires; Uruguay: 3,5 millions, 1/3 in Montevideo; Mexico: 120 millions, 1/6 in Mexico DF; Colombia: 50 millions, 1/5 in Bogotá; Venezuela: less 30 millions (thank Chavez and friends), 1/6 in Caracas
Unfortunately, in that video some cities are listed as the city itself, and some are listed in the whole metropolitan region, making a comparison really difficult. The city of Milan, Italy, itself, has about 1.3 Mio residents, not 4.9, as listed here, whereas Berlin is listed as the city itself.
Berlin has very few suburbs compared to most others european or german cities, maybe because the city itself is huge. Its size alone is 890 km² with 3.6 M people. Here they show with suburbs 1368 km² but just 300.000 people more. It is indeed not accurate since Berlin agglomeration has more like 4.7 M citizens. But Milan agglomeration area population is really 5 M. The metropolitan area is even over 7M. Grüße aus Darmstadt. :)
Read the description, the video uses buildup urban area which corresponds to the contiguous urbanized area. It is neither bound to imaginary lines on a map nor does it include area that is not urban like farmland or natural areas, which can happen when using administrative borders.
For metropolitan area of Tokyo, it's usually considering all surrounding areas, not just Yokohama in the south, which is another city. But it's true that two cities' public transport are well connected with several different train lines.

Resident in HK, 7.3M ppl in 250km2. I love my place. Crowded, convenient, energetic, and also many country parks to enjoy the green. Yet we need to flee from the Communist's tyranny soon. They kill the city where I born and live, and we lose our freedom forever.
@ He's right, the City of London & Greater London are two separate entities that have their own mayors and political systems, police forces and even different branded street lamps, bins and other public infrastructure. You can see the difference quite clearly if you're observant when walking through. The City of London has been uniquely governed since the 12th century.
Berlin is huuuge if you compare with other cities without their urban surroundings. Like just the S-Bahn ring Berlin, it's crazy. This is also what makes Berlin so special, so much room to breath and a lot of different atmosphere from a borough to another.
@@ycyang2698 You're right, I was mostly saying this in comparison to Paris, which is around 4 times smaller than Berlin if you only take the city itself.
The minecraft world is apparently about 4.1 billion km², which is basically wider than the planet Neptune. By comparison, GTA 3's Liberty City is 9 km². The Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall is about 162,000 km². Skyrim sits at 39 km² and The Witcher 3 sits at 136 km². Tamriel is calculated at around 9.1 million km².
@@blackwalls8126 Who tf gives a shit about randomly generated almost inifinite world of Minecraft i’m talking about AAA open world games. And a Minecraft world is 3.6 billion square km not 4.1 it’s 60 million blocks by 60 million wide blocks according to game’s coordinates. There are many wrong informations in these map size comparison videos.I generally play the game’s itself to figure out it’s true size. FE i’ve seen a few videos that shows AC Odyssey(says 130km^2,actually 256-260km^2)to be smaller than TW3(says 135km^2 but actually between 50-60km^2 with B&W DLC)which is basically nonsense,i’ve played both games and distance(m) wise Odyssey’s map dwarfes any map in TW3.Hell forget about Odyssey,it’s not even as big as likes of GTA 5 which is about 110-120km^2 but obviously that’s the size of rectangular map we get with the physical copy of the game so island itself is more 70km^2 range at most.Although if we wouldn’t include big empty sea of Skellige then Witcher 3 is more 30-40km^2 range instead of 50-60km^2.It’s also smaller than Cyberpunk which is 90-100km^2 including out of boundaries and inaccesible bay but playable boundary of Night City+Badlands+SoCal itself is just between 50-60km^2,still bigger than Witcher 3 i’d say. I’m a massive geography expert in open world video games,know size of all of em and locations etc.And honestly it’s crazy how developers are able to make these small worlds feel big.
@@blackwalls8126 Witcher 3 is nowhere near as big as 136km^2.Play the game by yourself to figure out it’s true size.The game has a distance unit system displayed near mini-map and that is alone to bust the myth of 136km^2 bullshit. The biggest map in the game,Skellige,is roughly 30km^2,it’s roughly 5,000 units wide by 6,000 units across. Also it takes just around 45 minutes to walk across Velen which is 4,100-4,200 units from north to south.Proves that these numbers are either meters or yard.On the other hans it takes 2,5 hours to walk across GTA V which has and island over 11km across and around 13km including a bit of sea. So,don’t believe in these videos.
Disappointed with the video ending showing misleading information, biggest cities in the Americas are Mexico city and São Paulo. As are their metropolitan areas.
This video is all over the place, some are showing all of the metro area, others just the actual cities, not your best work, unfortunately...not accurate...
and in another showed the woods and desertic area not populated at all around the cities, and mixed in cities with province and metropolitan region, 3 different thing.
Indeed. There is no way Milan is bigger than London. He took London city and Milan Metropolitan area, which is like comparing a town with a region. Plus, why "Tokyo-Yokohama". They are 2 distinct cities. If we took "Tokyo" as the city is very small. If we take the metropolitan area is pretty big. What is Tokyo-Yokohama though...
@@jossdeiboss he wanted the US cities to win--look at how all of the US cities are combined rather than singular ones. If you combine all of the cities in the tokyo district it would be twice bigger than new york
For those wondering why American cities are bigger in this video, its because he’s not taking account just the city, but the metropolitan area as well. For example, Atlanta ga as an individual city would not even be considered bigger than Buenos aires or Sao Paolo, but its metropolitan area spans miles across counties and municipalities
Because this video counted counties rather than city. For example Just the Los Angeles city vs LA county is tiny and this way some of the American ones wouldn’t made the list.
In all the exposed cities, their metropolitan area is considered and even so the American cities give them a drag even to megacities that exceed 20 million inhabitants in terms of the extension of the urban area. And this is due to the fact that American cities tend to grow almost exclusively horizontally, they do not seek the densification of housing.
I agree there needs to be clarification regarding the actual metrics of a city. I’m assuming in most cases it’s actually the whole continuous metro area.
Craziness! In a matter of half a century, or a few decades, in some cases - Capitalism and industrial revolution, in agriculture and transport, transformed, absurdly, the population of cities that today would be called small towns, villas in monstrous immense metropolises, where millions, tens of millions of people swarm, and squeeze
"Urban Area", not metropolitan area, which is why Boston and Providence are combined. Compare the city of Boston at about 50 sq. miles, to a city like Denver, 150 sq. miles. The scale could have been quite different.
I work at INEGI, a government entity in Mexico. The area that we have registered for the metropolitan area of Mexico City is 3,113 km2, of which 2,766 km2 are covered by the urban area.

Dehecho, si son áreas urbanas, por ejemplo, en la ciudad de Lima (Perú), ese era la misma carta nacional que se muestra de manera oficial, pero aún existe población, que es bastante, que vive en las cercanías alrededor de esa ciudad. Y ese ejemplo se puede aplicar a muchas de las ciudades, ya que sólo son áreas urbanas.

Cities like Chicago were built to be a "city in a garden". The cook county forest preserve and Chicago park district has some very nice desirable land in Chicago with wonderful natural retreats. Theres even a Japanese garden in Jackson park
One thing I want to point out here, because I have seen Europeans visiting the US surprised by the size of our cities. In the USA we tend to build more spread out than ya'll do across the pond, so a city might LOOK big, but actually have a fraction of the population of an equivalent European city. A lot of this is because our cities are designed for cars pretty early on, rather than foot traffic.
@@Link2edition It's largely the same here in Australia. In fact, the nation's capital, Canberra, was planned out from the very beginning to accommodate motorized traffic using a system of large roundabouts and ring roads. If you look at a map of the central city, you can see the original planning. It's a pretty small city though, with a population of only about half a million, and its founding was relatively recent, in 1913.
European urban areas aren't that large by population. London, Paris, Moscow, are the notable exceptions. USA urban areas are just larger, in area and population, on the whole.
In reality, Milan is the smallest of the most important cities in Italy, and is just over 181 square km. And then I don't see Rome which is the largest Italian city with its 1287 square km.

I don't like that you take lots of surrounding empty areas around the cities, sometimes even 20 times larger than the city, thus making the entire comparison meaningless.
@@Jacob-sx8iu It is hard to determine what to include, especially in American Cities. For example, the Miami (FL) Metropolitan area is huge, Millions of People, huge Airport, but the City Limits of Miami is very small, only about 330k People.

I said this the guy who made this video: You took The WHOLE NYC/NJ metropolitan urban area size and didnt do the same to others cities, like São Paulo. São Paulo metropolitan urban area has 9.298 km². STOP cheating to benefit cities from the united states. You cheated literally in every city from USA by taking their entire metropolitan area instead of just the city size itself. The Rio de Janeiro metropolitan área has 7.535 km².

I think the challenge with city Vs metropolitan area (or greater city as we say in the UK) is that it is frequently dependent on locals as to whether that counts or not as being part of the city. In London for instance if you are from or live in Greater London then you are from and live in London (I'm sure there are a couple of small exceptions). But that's not the case for many other cities with metropolitan areas, even in the UK. I don't think everyone in the Greater Manchester area would say they are from Manchester for instance. It therefore makes it very difficult for anyone to make a list like this because it makes sense to follow the political/geographical definitions when you can't possibly know all the cultural understandings of the cities size and populations. A beautifully done video by the way, stunning visuals.

That's Toronto's Metro Area. He's measuring by Urban Area, which is different. Metro Areas include large amounts of farmlands, Urban Areas do not. Urban Areas always have their borders at the edge of the built up area, and are "natural" geographical regions. Metro Areas and City Propers are political divisions. Also, Sudbury, Ontario has a far larger City proper than Toronto. Toronto's City Proper is 630 km² as you said, but Sudbury's City Proper is 3,228.35 km².

Bullshit. You have used different types of measurements for each city. Sometimes its city limits properties and sometimes whole regions. Tokyo is the biggest one.
It looks like you took the entire Golden Horseshoe region (Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Brampton, York + Durham Regions) and called it "Toronto" at 3:05, which is definitely a bit of a stretch.
To be fair, the Golden Horseshoe is basically just one big sprawling urban region centred around Toronto at this point. There used to be a fair bit of not much between Toronto and say, Hamilton, but these days... it's just different levels of urban and suburban from Oshawa to Hamilton.

Hi
Are you from The U.K.? I know you use kilometers since the majority of the world uses them as measurements, but I noticed the video began with a zoom in onto The U.K. Also, why do you have both English and Spanish text in the descriptions and comments? Are you Latino?
@@jessetorres8738 Español or Latino, we use KM too, i really don't understand why UE use feets xd
If you include the greater Houston area similar to how you did with New York and Boston, it would actually be 26,000 sq. km
You have the City, the Metropolitan Area, the Metropolitan Region and the Megalopolis. Here everything was mixed.
Agreed.
City proper would still be very unhelpful as a comparison, but at least it'd be the equivalent official thing.
Metropolitan region is counted differently from country to country, as are even continuous built-up area! Megapolitan and continuous built-up areas would be most fun to see compared.
Maybe use the Nordic definition for continuous built-up area? i.e. if there's 200 meters or less between 2 buildings it is connected! (we're not very dense places, so this makes sense here :) ) I do wonder what Shanghai and Guangzhou would be like with those rules :D
@@GustavSvard Yeah, like the NE megaopolis. The US East coast is so built up, you could go from Richmond to Boston without being more than 45 minutes from a city.
Isn't that the urban area ?
The urban area is the most sensible way to measure cities. As urban areas and cities were historically always the same thing until the 20th century.
@@xenotypos no a city has limits, a metropolitan has multiple cities and towns that make up the area. the video would have been correct if it was titled largest urban areas but saying cities a lot of this information is incorrect
@@thecolorblack4778 It's still cities broadly speaking, even if it's not the administrative limits. Both ways are valid in terms of semantics, but maybe it could have been mentioned somewhere I admit.
Btw a metropolitan area (afaik) isn't an urban area, as a metroplolitan area isn't a contiguous urbanized area (= it's possible to have empty areas), while an urban area is really just the densely populated area.
That's why in the end, urban areas are a better indicator.

Quite unfair, since the smaller cities shown are actual cities and not metropolitan areas as a whole
To me, all cities should've been represented as metropolitan, since in daily life we cruise in between freely, as it's one seeing from above.
A person who lives in a metropolitan area of a capital can go work, shop, everything, easily by automobiles, subways and etc.

Indeed. This video is STRAIGHT FROM THE BULLSHIT DEPARTMENT. "Apples and oranges" doesn't even begin to describe it.
It compares a few actual cities with completely different officially designated agglomerations and even with so called "urban areas" which are not necessarily centred around a single city, and where most inhabitants will not even step foot in the cities named in this video in an average week, let alone identify with them. "Brussels" is a case in point. The city of Brussels has +/- 150,000 inhabitants but forms a special federal district (like DC, Brasilia, Canberra and the like) with 18 other municipalities. Total area 165 km², total population 1.1 million, all of whom will call themselves Brusseleir or Bruxellois. The 792 km² that MetaBallStudios artificially formed here includes bits of two different provinces, with two different languages and where people are likely to go to places like Mechelen, Antwerp, or Wavre much more frequently than to Brussels itself. And very few of them would consider themselves to be from Brussels. Last but not least, most of that area is forest and farms.

Not sure about this video compared to the usual ones which are brilliant... Some are cities and others are metropolitan areas. It's like comparing apples and oranges so the overall picture is very distorted
totally agree
This is based on developed landmass. It is all the same distinction for every listed area. The contiguous, non-rural development in square kilometers that spreads out from the urban core that is hemmed in by rural area.
Metro/Urban areas and the actual city proper are two very different things. This is misleading.
Exactly
don't trust any statistics that you haven't faked yourself
He addresses that in the description. I agree though, if he was going for urban areas then LA should have been much larger.
I think most get the jest.. The city proper is usually the economic engine of the surrounding area. Washington DC metro area is called the "DMV" locally for example (Dc/Md/northern Va). Without the city proper, the surrounding metro areas wouldn't exist.

Unfortunately, in that video some cities are listed as the city itself, and some are listed in the whole metropolitan region, making a comparison really difficult. The city of Milan, Italy, itself, has about 1.3 Mio residents, not 4.9, as listed here, whereas Berlin is listed as the city itself.
Berlin has very few suburbs compared to most others european or german cities, maybe because the city itself is huge. Its size alone is 890 km² with 3.6 M people. Here they show with suburbs 1368 km² but just 300.000 people more. It is indeed not accurate since Berlin agglomeration has more like 4.7 M citizens.
But Milan agglomeration area population is really 5 M. The metropolitan area is even over 7M.

Read the description, the video uses buildup urban area which corresponds to the contiguous urbanized area. It is neither bound to imaginary lines on a map nor does it include area that is not urban like farmland or natural areas, which can happen when using administrative borders.
For metropolitan area of Tokyo, it's usually considering all surrounding areas, not just Yokohama in the south, which is another city. But it's true that two cities' public transport are well connected with several different train lines.

The Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall is about 162,000 km². Skyrim sits at 39 km² and The Witcher 3 sits at 136 km². Tamriel is calculated at around 9.1 million km².
@@blackwalls8126 Who tf gives a shit about randomly generated almost inifinite world of Minecraft i’m talking about AAA open world games.
And a Minecraft world is 3.6 billion square km not 4.1 it’s 60 million blocks by 60 million wide blocks according to game’s coordinates.
There are many wrong informations in these map size comparison videos.I generally play the game’s itself to figure out it’s true size.
FE i’ve seen a few videos that shows AC Odyssey(says 130km^2,actually 256-260km^2)to be smaller than TW3(says 135km^2 but actually between 50-60km^2 with B&W DLC)which is basically nonsense,i’ve played both games and distance(m) wise Odyssey’s map dwarfes any map in TW3.Hell forget about Odyssey,it’s not even as big as likes of GTA 5 which is about 110-120km^2 but obviously that’s the size of rectangular map we get with the physical copy of the game so island itself is more 70km^2 range at most.Although if we wouldn’t include big empty sea of Skellige then Witcher 3 is more 30-40km^2 range instead of 50-60km^2.It’s also smaller than Cyberpunk which is 90-100km^2 including out of boundaries and inaccesible bay but playable boundary of Night City+Badlands+SoCal itself is just between 50-60km^2,still bigger than Witcher 3 i’d say.
I’m a massive geography expert in open world video games,know size of all of em and locations etc.And honestly it’s crazy how developers are able to make these small worlds feel big.
@@blackwalls8126 Witcher 3 is nowhere near as big as 136km^2.Play the game by yourself to figure out it’s true size.The game has a distance unit system displayed near mini-map and that is alone to bust the myth of 136km^2 bullshit.
The biggest map in the game,Skellige,is roughly 30km^2,it’s roughly 5,000 units wide by 6,000 units across.
Also it takes just around 45 minutes to walk across Velen which is 4,100-4,200 units from north to south.Proves that these numbers are either meters or yard.On the other hans it takes 2,5 hours to walk across GTA V which has and island over 11km across and around 13km including a bit of sea.

True, even Jakarta is a province or region not a city.
For those wondering why American cities are bigger in this video, its because he’s not taking account just the city, but the metropolitan area as well. For example, Atlanta ga as an individual city would not even be considered bigger than Buenos aires or Sao Paolo, but its metropolitan area spans miles across counties and municipalities
Because this video counted counties rather than city. For example Just the Los Angeles city vs LA county is tiny and this way some of the American ones wouldn’t made the list.
In all the exposed cities, their metropolitan area is considered and even so the American cities give them a drag even to megacities that exceed 20 million inhabitants in terms of the extension of the urban area.
And this is due to the fact that American cities tend to grow almost exclusively horizontally, they do not seek the densification of housing.
I agree there needs to be clarification regarding the actual metrics of a city. I’m assuming in most cases it’s actually the whole continuous metro area.
Craziness! In a matter of half a century, or a few decades, in some cases - Capitalism and industrial revolution, in agriculture and transport, transformed, absurdly, the population of cities that today would be called small towns, villas in monstrous immense metropolises, where millions, tens of millions of people swarm, and squeeze
"Urban Area", not metropolitan area, which is why Boston and Providence are combined. Compare the city of Boston at about 50 sq. miles, to a city like Denver, 150 sq. miles. The scale could have been quite different.
I work at INEGI, a government entity in Mexico. The area that we have registered for the metropolitan area of Mexico City is 3,113 km2, of which 2,766 km2 are covered by the urban area.

One thing I want to point out here, because I have seen Europeans visiting the US surprised by the size of our cities.
In the USA we tend to build more spread out than ya'll do across the pond, so a city might LOOK big, but actually have a fraction of the population of an equivalent European city. A lot of this is because our cities are designed for cars pretty early on, rather than foot traffic.
That's a good point. Most, if not all, major European cities predate the automobile by centuries.
@@Markus_Andrew Exactly, and if you look at particularly old (By our standards) American cities, they are built more like European cities.
@@Link2edition It's largely the same here in Australia. In fact, the nation's capital, Canberra, was planned out from the very beginning to accommodate motorized traffic using a system of large roundabouts and ring roads. If you look at a map of the central city, you can see the original planning. It's a pretty small city though, with a population of only about half a million, and its founding was relatively recent, in 1913.
European urban areas aren't that large by population. London, Paris, Moscow, are the notable exceptions. USA urban areas are just larger, in area and population, on the whole.

I think the challenge with city Vs metropolitan area (or greater city as we say in the UK) is that it is frequently dependent on locals as to whether that counts or not as being part of the city. In London for instance if you are from or live in Greater London then you are from and live in London (I'm sure there are a couple of small exceptions). But that's not the case for many other cities with metropolitan areas, even in the UK. I don't think everyone in the Greater Manchester area would say they are from Manchester for instance. It therefore makes it very difficult for anyone to make a list like this because it makes sense to follow the political/geographical definitions when you can't possibly know all the cultural understandings of the cities size and populations.
A beautifully done video by the way, stunning visuals.
I was amazed at HK being so small and Milan, Seoul and HCMC being so big. America's cities dominated all of China's cities at the end, yet the latter has more people in them.
American Houses/Apartments: ~2-6 floors
American Block of Houses: ~40 people
Chinese Apartments: ~25 floors
Chinese Apartment Square: 500+ people
That's why there's 9 cities in USA with 1mil+ population but 56 cities in China with 1mil+ population
@@warlordhuo4647 Also, building codes in Chinese cities tend to be a lot looser than their American counterparts. As such you get situations where an Apartment high-rise in NYC and in Shanghai could be the same size and have the same number of floors, but the Shanghai High-Rise could fit hundreds of more people inside than the one in NYC.

The city of Toronto's area is actually 630 km² (largest city by land mass in Canada since amalgamation). The GTA (Greater Toronto Area), which comprises of the City of Toronto and the regional municipalities of Durham, Peel, York and Halton, has a land mass of 7,124 km² and a population of 6 million.
That's Toronto's Metro Area. He's measuring by Urban Area, which is different. Metro Areas include large amounts of farmlands, Urban Areas do not. Urban Areas always have their borders at the edge of the built up area, and are "natural" geographical regions. Metro Areas and City Propers are political divisions.
Also, Sudbury, Ontario has a far larger City proper than Toronto. Toronto's City Proper is 630 km² as you said, but Sudbury's City Proper is 3,228.35 km². City Proper and Metro Areas are completely arbitrary anyways, so there's no point in comparing those by land area.
Craziness! In a matter of half a century, or a few decades, in some cases - Capitalism and industrial revolution, in agriculture and transport, transformed, absurdly, the population of cities that today would be called small towns, villas in monstrous immense metropolises, where millions, tens of millions of people swarm, and squeeze
They should include it, as part of the gta if everything surrounding the bottom half of lake Michigan is considered Chicagoland metro area

@@m.dewylde5287 Luckily there's more facets to judging how good a city is than just the 'teenage street murder rate' or whatever weird stat you've plucked out there!
These are urbanized areas, the contiguous build-up area. Seattle's metropolitan area is based on counties and commuting just as all metropolitan areas are in the USA. However, Seattle's urban developed area is far smaller than 21,202 km square.
Why use kilometers, since square miles is more appropriate here in the USA?
