I wasn't sure whether to include it, but after looking it to it I've included the 65% of the full city's population. Thanks to both of you!

I'm afraid Boston is wrong. It has only about 700,000 people. 7.65 million is more than all of Massachusetts!

Cologne is wrong, it has only about 1 million inhabitants.

If you want to count it as the rhine-ruhr area, name it like that!

Whoever put 5 million people into the urban area of Cologne should really rethink their definition of an urban area.

Don't think the definition of Cologne works. Number for Istanbul looks a bit small.
