This always surprise me to see how white are the street in the Loop.
Chicago is only 40% white, but we don't see any non white in these pictures.

FYI, Chicago has many dense suburbs that are indistinguishable from the city, such as Berwyn, Cicero, Oak Park, and Evanston.
And If Paris proper has the land size of Chicago, it would be over two time more populated than Chicago.
Rome is officially more populated than Paris, Offically Berlin is officaly more populated than Paris or Chicago.
Chongqing (a city that include infact serval urban area and many rural area between) is with 31 million inhabitants officially the populated city in the world, it is more than Tokyo, New York.
In reality the main urban area of Chongqing has only 5 million inhabitants. Chongqing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using city limit as comparaison can be wrong because there is city with too big limit and city with too small limit. Paris is in the second case.
Some Paris dense suburbs have over 50,000 inhabitants per square mile.
It is better than compare urban area population, this show a better reality of the population.
Paris : 10.1 milllion
Chicago : 8.7 million
Chongqing : 5 million
Berlin : 3.7 million
Rome : 2.7 million
3. Chicago has countless cultural events. Music events like Lollapalooza (now a Chicago-only festival), the Pitchfork Music Festival, and the Intonation Music Festival have put us on the international music scene. But let's be honest here... There really aren't many national and internationally known cultural events anywhere. New York doesn't even have any, outside of Fashion Week. Venice has the Biennale. Cannes, France has it's film festival (yet is still not a cultural center). Events don't have much corrolation with cultural prominence. But having a well-regarded symphony, opera, ballet, and art collections do have a strong corrolation.
Those pictures just reminded me of Chicago summers...can't wait.
