Word on the street, is that the sun won't be returning any time soon....at least the nights are nice. The cloud ceiling is so low, I can almost touch it.

got some Led Zep lyrics stuck in my head ....." if the sun refused to shine"

If that's the case then the "city" of London is physically nearly twice the size of New York City (304.8 sq mi/789 km2) with a population not far off. The city of New York has 8.5 million. Aren't most European cities much smaller in physical size than American cities?

There is a physical 'green belt' to prevent London from sprawling out, but the sprawl continues in places like Woking, Camberley, Hemel Hempstead etc. The metro population of London is about 16m, compared to 8.6m in the city.

No such thing as a green belt here. Chicago's farthest northshore suburbs now almost touch Milwaukee's south suburbs. When they do meet in about 15 years, the area would be some 13 million.

Perth has a population of ~2.1 million, yet is 5.386km sqaured. But Phoenix is MASSIVE. Perth is the definition of urban sprawl, stretching from Mandurah (75km south), to Two Rocks (50km north), to the coast (10-15km/h west) and to the hills (15-20km east). Low density.

Not quite on the same scale, but Nelson (pop 55000) is 28km of continuous built-up area, from Hope to Atawhai.

Motueka (pop 8000) is 8km start to finish, from Wildman Rd to Packing Shed Corner

Melbourne is almost 10,000km^2 lolololol

The Turku urban area has a 260k population on a 256 km2 area. So not very dense or big, but of course varying a lot from area to area and is a part of 7 different muncipalities.

The largest muncipality in Finland is Inari in Northern Lapland with a 15,000 km2 land area, having 6800 inhabitants. Take that, density.

Miami's got 440,000 on 36mi^2 (96km^2) and 5,503,000 on 1,116 mi^2 (2,891km^2)

[ksolina]

The centre of Zagreb has 688,163 inhabitants over 162.22 km2, while the metro area is much bigger and has 1,113,111 inhabitants over 3,719 km2.

Back on topic, the spring has arrived (apart from the next three or four days).
