I guess, size-wise, those are USA definitions. Not in Germany [1] (which is the topic here), nor in The Netherlands (where I'm from). Amsterdam doesn't have 1M

I guess, size-wise, those are USA definitions.
Not in Germany [1] (which is the topic here), nor in The Netherlands (where I'm from). Amsterdam doesn't have 1M, yet it is very culturally diverse. Zaanstad (containing Zaandam) is 'only' ~150k, and has the most cultures of The Netherlands (a total of 135 different nationalities).

EDIT: Ah, now it makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up! :)
- sergiosgc 8y agoSorry, there's a bit of misunderstanding here, my fault. I'm referring to metropolitan area population, not the specific city population. My city, Porto, for example, has less than 300k inhabitants. The metro area is, however, about 1.5M. In the context of auto traffic, or city services, the relevant number is the metro population, not the city proper.
