KATOWICE???

someone added this urban population of katowice, without any sources or references. 21mis (talk) 15:42, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cities growth and full list

Cities bigger than 440.000 inhabitants have a strong growth as a constant pattern in comparison with the environment for "all" cities, from Russia, USA, Brazil or Europe, just check the cities list of those countries and their growth change with the years, and where is the knick of bigger regression, it's clear already in wiki list, in green and red colours.

The list of metropolitan areas must be then starting in 400.000 habitants.

And include the failing metropolitan areas from the different countries.

Areas with higher than 1000 hab./km2 have strong cost reduction in public service,...

Cities bigger than 10 million or over 5000 hab/km2 start to habe strong saturation cost. South Korea took a radical solution to avoid the Tokio saturation cost, and started around Seul a dense net of interlinked cities to avoid saturation.

Whoever you are (and I don't think a major change like the one you've done today should be done anonymously), you have inserted an "ESPON" column, but you claim it comes from the same Demographia source as is used for another column. It doesn't. We can't check your work. You've added cities in Norway, which is not in the EU, but not Switzerland or the UK, for instance, without any explanation why. The reason for using a cut-off of 500,000 was clear: that's what Demographia lists. Please supply the source for the figures you added, and delete Oslo and Bergen, or give a justification for including them alone of non EU cities.

I removed duplicate entries, the polycentric areas which didn't fit the definition of the page, the Norwegian cities, and moved the new additions into their own table, since they don't have the fundamental qualification for this, ie above 500,000 in the Demographia list, though they might be of interest, if someone wants to check their data and that there aren't other candidates for inclusion by the same criteria.

Cities from Norway included, but not Switzerland, or the UK

The list includes Oslo and Bergen, but not the large Swiss cities (at Demographia, one of the sources, Oslo is 813,000, and Zurich 815,000). The UK cities were removed on the day it left the EU, so the criteria seem to be "proper EU cities", in which case Oslo and Bergen should go. That would fit the page title, anyway.

Is demographia a reliable source?

This list leans heavily on a report by Demographia which appears to be a small, US based, pro-car/anti public transport, conservative think tank. How reliable should we consider this source? Arnoutf (talk) 09:19, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Porto

Porto should be higher since the Official value is over 1.700.000 people 2A04:EE41:0:B03A:4DF2:2ED8:B5AE:C271 (talk) 07:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
