what exactly it means to be the "biggest city." Is it by land area? Is it by population? The former seems a little arbitrary, but the latter might be hard to pin down, especially since once-distinct cities have begun to merge into huge sprawling "metropolitan areas." That said, we did manage to come up with an answer to your question. We used a number of different resources to get a consensus -- everything from Yahoo! to Google to Infoseek, but in the end, we found a reasonable number of sites that agreed on the subject.
First, we'll share the main dissenter, The InfoPlease Almanac, which listed Seoul, Korea, as the most populous city in the world. They went on to list Sao Paolo, Brazil, in second place and Bombay, India, in third. We were happy to see their comprehensive list of the 50 most populous cities, but they chose to only count inhabitants of within the actual city limits. Later, as we searched further, it became apparent that most sources prefer to judge "urban areas" rather than "cities proper."

what exactly it means to be the "biggest city." Is it by land area? Is it by population? The former seems a little arbitrary, but the latter might be hard to pin down, especially since once-distinct cities have begun to merge into huge sprawling "metropolitan areas."
ReplyDeleteThat said, we did manage to come up with an answer to your question. We used a number of different resources to get a consensus -- everything from Yahoo! to Google to Infoseek, but in the end, we found a reasonable number of sites that agreed on the subject.
First, we'll share the main dissenter, The InfoPlease Almanac, which listed Seoul, Korea, as the most populous city in the world. They went on to list Sao Paolo, Brazil, in second place and Bombay, India, in third. We were happy to see their comprehensive list of the 50 most populous cities, but they chose to only count inhabitants of within the actual city limits. Later, as we searched further, it became apparent that most sources prefer to judge "urban areas" rather than "cities proper."
