Very nitpicky, but technically, Cologne is part of the Ruhr metro area.

Edit: It is also rather strange to me that you (or your source) used Katowice instead of Krakow. They're inarguably in the same metro area, with Krakow having more than twice of Katowice's population city proper?

Maybe someone here can enlighten me about that.

Just a suggestion for a great quiz, but it would be nice if the dots were a wee bit larger on the click to enlarge. Some of them are kind of hard to spot and/or distinguish from other dots.

Also, could you accept Fort Myers for Cape Coral? Cape Coral is larger than Fort Myers, but the only way that Cape Coral is 1,000,000 is if its the larger metro area including both.

Nice job!

If we are using citypopulation.de's urban area stats for cities, Hartford, Buffalo, Oklahoma City, Fresno, Louisville, Tulsa, El Paso, McAllen all do not meet 1 million people. It looks like the stat being used is urban agglomerations of the world.

For this, Buffalo includes St Catharine's, Ontario, Canada. Boston includes Providence. Washington DC includes Baltimore. Guangzhou includes Shenzhen but not Hong Kong. Detroit includes both Toledo, Ohio and Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Actually there are two cities in China both pronounced as Suzhou, the larger and more famous one is Sūzhōu in Jiangsu Province, once translated as Soochow, near Shanghai; The smaller one is Sùzhōu in Anhui Province. In Jetpunk quizzes the larger Suzhou is usually regarded part of greater Shanghai and not as individual, just like Newark counted as part pf greater New York. However, the smaller Suzhou also has a population larger than 1M, but the author has put it at the location of the larger one.

For Germany, there are wrong numbers in the quiz. For example Stuttgart. According to your source, it has roundabout 1.5 million in the urban area, which seems wright. The 2.6 you have taken is the Region of Stuttgart, which includes several towns and Landkreise, that are far away from the city (the Landkreis of Göppingen isn't even neighburing Stuttgart). Also Mannheim has never ever over a million people. It is a metropol region together with Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg, that came together an a bit less than a million.

Edit: I guess it's listed un https://www.citypopulation.de/en/world/agglomerations/ . Still curious how the listed number was arrived at.

I mean it IS the official name of the city, so it should at least be a type in. Nobody types "Democratic Republic of the Congo", but it still works

Some of the stuff here is completely incorrect, such has Harrisburgh being even close to being a million city, and some of the "cities" mentioned in China are counties under the administration of other cities, such as Shuyang county, which is a part of Suqian city, but in the quiz regarded as a city of its own.

But it's 100% true. According to the U.S. Census Bureau the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania urban area has nowhere near 1 million people: 490,859. Your source includes multiple U.S. "metropolitan areas" joined in Harrisburg which by U.S. Census Bureau definition are just counties containing the cities including extensive rural area and other urban areas that just happen to be in the counties but are in no way, shape, or form connected to the central urban area of the counties.

It should be Padua instead of Padova (in English, that is...).

In the former version, Prayagraj was called Allahabad, I think it could still be a type-in (but I will try to remember the new one).

In the same way, Hofuf is here now called Al-Haza but it seems the main name is still Hofuf...

The "suzhou" in China with a population of 1.03 million should refer to 宿州suzhou in Anhui Province, not 苏州suzhou in Jiangsu Province, as the current location corresponds to that. Because the larger 苏州suzhou in Jiangsu Province has been incorporated into the city population of Shanghai.

A lot of Chinese cities are just incorrect.

Cities like Tengzhou, Shuyang, and Jiangyin especially are not actually cities. They are legally part of larger cities that are part of this quiz, namely Zaozhuang, Suqian, and Wuxi. Including them is like putting a dot for Brooklyn down next to a dot for NYC.
