- wingerlang 9y agoHow and why do they pick Adelaide? There are some (small) cities around Perth.
- ithkuil 9y agoI guess it should have been "nearest (capital) city"
- Nursie 9y agoDepends on your definition of "city". Is Geraldton or Bunbury a city? Not by European standards, though maybe by the US definition. To a Brit, those are towns, probably even small towns.
- thothamon 9y agoIn the US, we are loose about the term "city." The "city" I live in has a population of I 76,000. The neighboring town, Fort Collins, has a population of 164,000. But in 1990, my town, Loveland, only had 40,000 residents and I still would have called it a city. The term "big city" is more specific. That's a major city, probably with skyscrapers. Population is probably close to a million or more. The term "metropolis" is even more specific. That's a really big city, one of the top 20 in the US, to give a rough sense. Chicago, New York, Los Angeles are metropolises. Denver? It's a big city, but I don't know about metropolis.
- Nursie 9y agoGeraldton, to the north of Perth, is about 40k, the biggest settlement in WA outside of Perth seems to be about 60k... The next town along from where I grew up in the UK is about 80k and is in no way a city...
