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.

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.
