I didnt know it. It looks difficult but I dont think I will have a harad time remembering the spelling ( if I remember the city at all that is)> It is dnepr, like the river, then o, then petro vsk (maybe think of peter fish? So like dnepr of the peter fish haha (if you think of the o as an irish o'). it gets complicated when you concentrate on prope in the middle. Then you get something like ; d ne -pro -pet rovsk. And I can understand you getting lost then.

It is all about how you break up the words. It can make a world of difference in remembering them

+3
Level 66
Apr 21, 2019
How on earth does that sound like snack food?

but yea. I think all answers on this site should be english (uk and american variation) and in their native language in cases like cities. Otherwise there are wayyyyy too many type ins. They d have to do it for each language..

That said, english can be very silly with sometimes having words end in -er and other times -re. (I have been insecure about the word letter, lettre for years when i was a kid haha. And meter metre, liter litre, center centre). But I believe most of that is because of the british/american versions. (but it is not standard -re in british an -er in american, both have exceptions, which is what makes it more confusing. It ias not like the extr u in colour and armor, there is it consistent, the (extra) u is allways the brittish version)

Apr 21, 2019
I wanted to know too why it is listed as one. I thought first maybe they were equally big, but that wouldnt make sense because then they would be both on the list.

I looked it up and apparently it is an area devised/named/appointed in 2014. For the benefits of cooperation between towns in the area. Partly for legislation reasons.

Regardless it should be The Hague. It would otherwise be like calling los angeles just angeles, it is just weird. Plus it is the official name wikipedia lists. "Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area" (wouldnt make sense any other way)

The snobbish people of Düsseldorf would be appalled to be lumped together with the "shabby" Ruhr Area. If anything they would say they are part of the Rhine region (like Cologne), which is close by and overlaps in some areas but not in Düsseldorf.
+3
Level 77
Jun 15, 2021
Cologne and Düsseldorf are separate cities, too, by the way. And they are intense rivals. Ordering a Düsseldorf beer in Cologne or vice versa is a quick way to ruin the jolly Rhenish mood.

Cologne was founded by the Romans 2000 years ago and was an important religious and cultural center throughout the Middle Ages. Thomas Aquinas studied here, for example. It's a mixed bag with Roman ruins, Catholicism, parties, gay pride and infamously shabby quarters all thrown together. Its German name is Köln.

Düsseldorf is much younger and only rose to prominence 200 years ago. It's the epitome of rich, fancy and artsy, at least compared to Cologne and Ruhr. Its German name is... Düsseldorf, duh.

The first time I did this quiz I got caught out by all the British cities on here. Most sources seem to give only London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow as being 1 million+, so I didn't bother with the others. I also expected Samara, Kazan, Rostov-on-Don and Odessa to be on here. I suspect my underestimation of British cities stemmed from the British tendency (often shared by Americans, I find) to more often quote population within city limits as opposed to metro area. I suspect this arises from the fact that it's often less clear where one metro area ends and another begins in densely populated areas of the US and pretty much anywhere in the UK, whereas here in Australia we have cities divided by vast gulfs of sparsely populated land and served by clearly identifiable CBDs. If we quoted population in formal city limits, we'd talk about Sydney as a town of less than 200,000 people.

It's totally fine to include Mannheim. Ever heard of the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan region? While it's true that this area is a losely defined polycentric area it still has over 2.4 million people living there but if you exclude some parts that are usually seen to be part of it like the southern palatinate area (Landau) which is closer to Karlsruhe and the Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis which is closer to Heilbronn you still have easily 1.6 million people with not just Mannheim, Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen but also many other smaller towns close by like Speyer, Heppenheim, Worms, Weinheim, Walldorf, Sinsheim, etc.

+1
Level 84
Aug 29, 2018
No but the "Rhine-Ruhr" area which includes Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, Bochum, Wuppertal, Bonn and Stuttgart among other cities is often counted as a single metro area. I'm not sure why Cologne and Dusseldorf are separated out from the Ruhr, or why Stuttgart is also separate. Probably different ways of categorizing these places.
+4
Level 77
Aug 29, 2018
Ruhr Area is not merely a geographical term. It is an area that was largely unimportant until the Industrial Revolution, when the coal industry drew in masses of workers. Until recently, the region was defined by industry, and its inhabitants are still somewhat looked down upon as "proles" by people from outside. I guess the Pittsburgh Region, Upper Silesia, and North West England are similar cases. This continues to shape the Ruhr identity (which has its own dialect) and separates it from the old, "aristocratic" city of Cologne or the old, rich, and posh city of Düsseldorf, which in turn share some distinct Rhine-ish traditions and a common dialect. Culturally, these areas are different, but because they are so close to each other and overlap in small points, there is a basis for characterizing them as one large urban area. If you want to lump Stuttgart in there as well you'll probably need to refer to the so-called Blue Banana, which stretches from Liverpool down to Milan.
+3
Level 77
Jun 4, 2019
What I meant by the first sentence is a mystery to me now but the rest stands. The Rhineland and the Ruhr Area are as distinct as New York and New Jersey, i.e. close enough to belong to one metro area but also worlds apart. And Stuttgart is more than 300 km/180 miles south of the area.

Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg are behind the Ural, which means territorially on the Asian side of Russia.

I can't comment on the Mannheim and Stuttgart conurbations, but "Leeds" (the West Yorkshire conurbation under the urban area definition stated at the top of this quiz) is easily over a million. Leeds + Bradford + Huddersfield combined are probably around a million, even before adding in the countless other towns in the area.

I always thought Chelyabinsk was in Asia. Apparently it's sort of on the border. Doesn't matter, because there's no real reason to split Eurasia into two continents.

It should not say Largest Cities, but Largest Agglomerations. Frankfurt City has only 700k inhabitants ... only if you count the large region around this would sum up to what is depicted here. I live there xD

Having gone through the 2020 version of this website, there are a number of anomalies and updates to suggest. 1. Brussels is listed as 2.7m, not 1.41 - big change in 2 years! 2. Katowice is listed but not Upper Silesia - are they the same? If so, Katowice should be accepted. 3. Yekaterinburg is in the 2020 list, after Kharkiv, and ahead of Mannheim. 4. Porto (Portugal) is listed at 1,54m. Not on your list. 5. Dnepropetrovsk is not on your list, but is listed just ahead of Dublin at 1.39m. I suggest an update based on 2020 figures. It would mean some tail enders would drop off, and there would be considerable rearranging of the sequence!

Read the description. source gives this for Zurich:

City proper=0.42m;

Agglomeration core=1.12m;

Agglomeration=1.41m

I live nearby. IMO the colored "Agglomeration" region is not appropriate to be used for urban area. My estimate for the urban area of Zurich would be 1 million. Then again, you could argue that most of Switzerland is one big urban area.

I've since created a blog article about the Ruhr issue. It's so weird to read all these statements if you're from the region. Imagine being from Philadelphia and reading that people "consider" your city to be part of the South, or to belong to the Boston metro area.

I don't like citypopulation.de almost entirely because of the whole "Guangzhou" agglomeration thing. It includes Shenzhen and possible Hong Kong, according to citypopulation.de, and that's not right. Tokyo is the largest urban area in the world by population.

citypopulation.de also does not consider Chongqing to be its own city, possibly because of its immense size. I don't like this.
