Huanggang, with a population of 6 million. Amazing how a city that most of us haven't heard of in the middle of China has a population close to London's.

They’re slightly different things - a Vorort is part of a conurbation. slough is a Vorort of London, and a part of the London conurbation.

There are well over 100 cities in China with a population greater than one million (size of Birmingham).  Loads more with a population greater then 500,000 (size of Athens or Lisbon)

Und so beißt der kleine Hund manchmal am Fuße einer Statue, ohne zu wissen, dass sie tatsächlich ihre eigenen Zähne bricht, während sie auch ihre eigene Piss leckt.

 City sizing all wrong.  
 

Either size by administrative boundary OR by travel-to-work area but don’t mix them.  
 

London is 6 or 7 million by admin boundary but London TTWA is 18 million.  

I went to China and the guide referred to her home as a town. I asked the population she said about 2 million, I said that’s a city, she said no, the nearest city was about 40 mins away for her ‘home town’ and that had 6 million pop.
