The City of Manchester is by no means representative of the actual city. Likewise, the city of Liverpool covers a ridiculously small area. Salford is clearly part of Manchester, and Birkenhead is clearly part of Liverpool. Bradford, however, is not part of Leeds.
Liverpool has a footprint larger than Paris. The city was laid fro around 3 million people. It is the easiest city ion the UK to expand and all is there and an amazing level of rail infrastructure is awaiting to expand the metro.

Manchester has a tram system - a really good one, I might add, although I have already explained to you that Liverpool does not have a metro system - but merely a suburban railway network with an underground tunnel connecting Liverpool city centre to Birkenhead (with one solitary underground railway station - Liverpool Central) - you still seem to believe the opposite is true, however.
The Manchester tram network is quite good but pretty slow. After all it is street running trams mixing with slow surface traffic not a rapid-transit network. As I have already explained to you, Liverpool has an underground metro, which is underground in Liverpool and Birkenhead centres. The network is easily expandable using about 5 miles of disused tunnel under the city and miles and miles of surface trackbed. One underground station? Please find out. I went through many of them. Only about 10 years ago they cut a station into one of the tunnels, Conway Park station in Birkenhead.
Three underground stations in tunnels with the roof open to the atmosphere
One station at the end of tunnels (viewed as partial underground station)
One disused 100% underground station
One disused underground station with the roof open to the atmosphere
At least one station can be built into tunnel vent cuttings (viewed as underground)
Stations can be cut into tunnels - e.g., an essential station for the Royal Liverpool Hospital
There are four underground tunnels awaiting re-commission in Liverpool and Birkenhead centres and inner-city
There are various other disused tunnels: Kirkdale station to Queens Drive/Rice Lane, Sandhills to Sandon Dock and under Linacre Gas Works
The City Line on the Liverpool metro is being electrified right now making the network even better. The Liverpool underground is the second oldest in the world. It was the first with deep stations and I think the stations are still the deepest below sea level in the world.
Not as a typical American city, but maybe like a coastal Californian ones.
Or Honolulu, Hawaii. The skylines are remarkably similar. Somewhat like Miami too. And since we said "American," I presume that would include Central American cities. The Panama City, Panama cityscape is very similar to Benidorm as well.

American as in United States of America.
