I thought of Las Vegas at the last second, but couldn't type it fast enough, Meanwhile, I got Luanda. I'm typically not good with African cities. I, too, am American. Don't know why I had such a hard time thinking of Las Vegas.

The American cities are harder to get because there are so many of them. You probably can't name the 2nd biggest city in Zambia, though.

There cannot possibly be 2.10 million people in Leeds. There's only about 2.2 million in all of West Yorkshire.

They're counting the population of the metropolitan area, which includes places like Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, etc. Don't really think this should count as Leeds itself only has a population of around half a million, well below Liverpool's 1.1 million.

They would have to include all of West Yorkshire in order to get that number, which seems very inaccurate to me. I agree it doesn't seem to add up.

Go here, click on Leeds, and then open in Google maps.

https://www.citypopulation.de/en/world/agglomerations/

You'll see which areas are included. It's not a ridiculously large area like it is for some of the U.S. and Chinese metros.

Bradford is only like 5 miles away. People definitely commute back and forth between Leeds and Bradford. It would be silly to consider them as separate urban agglomerations.

Within the urban agglomeration? It absolutely does. Certainly you aren't considering cities like Bradford (right next door) as an entirely separate urban area?
