What is the largest city you have visited?

@dancingtongue NYC has a much larger population than Paris.

@DragonFruit Paris ranks #28. NYC #44

@dancingtongue How can that be when Paris doesn’t even have a population of 3 million, and NYC (not even counting the metropolitan area) has close to 9 million? The borough of Brooklyn alone has a population greater than that of Paris, the borough of Queens has about the same population as Paris and NYC still has Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island populations to add to that total. Paris doesn’t have close to the population of NYC.....they might be rated as greater or better in some respects, but population is not one of them. You can look up the actual populations of the two cities.

@DragonFruit Population of Paris, France: 11,078,546

@DragonFruit Population of NYC: 8,230,290

@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
