What is the largest city you have visited?

@dancingtongue They increased their population from about 2.5 million to over 11 million in less than a year, and NYC lowered its population by more than 600,000 in the same time period? As of the middle of 2021, Paris was about 2.5 million and NYC over 8.8 million....don’t know where you got that figure for Paris, but it's not even close.

@dancingtongue The 11 million figure would be the Paris metropolitan area (Paris and surrounding area)....but if you do the same for NYC, that figure is over 20 million people. Paris is NOT as populated as NYC either in the city proper or in the surrounding metro area.

(I’ve been to Paris, but it’s not as populated as Rome or Los Angeles, let alone NYC).

The list I read shows NYC as #11 and Paris as #28 (based on the metro areas for both)....if they were using the populations of the cities proper, Paris wouldn’t even be in the top 50.

@DragonFruit This was my source, the first one that popped up when I Googled. Makes no difference to me. I've been to Rome and L.A. too, and if you want to talk about sprawl, both qualify. But the question was about total population, not density. https://worldpopulationreview.com/world-cities

@Mamapolo2016 My city is becoming a high crime area. I guess the entire world is getting like that.

@ProfessorPlum77 it is indeed

@ProfessorPlum77 We're still doing fairly well in terms of crime. Albuquerque, on the other hand...
