I’d be interested to know what city you’re talking about. Are you limiting ‘something of value’ to manufacturing? A great deal of the UK economy is service based. I’d be amazed if only 5% of the city’s population were producing goods or services used by those outside the city.
- Apfel 7y agoI think the only city around that population in the UK is Birmingham. It is notoriously a pretty rubbish place.
- scottishfiction 7y agoHa! I’m sure many a proud Brummie would disagree. Glasgow also has roughly 1m.
- Apfel 7y agoI live in Glasgow - isn't it closer to 600k?
- scottishfiction 7y agoThe area belonging to Glasgow city council is 600k, the Glasgow urban area, also known as Greater Glasgow[0], which I live in, is 1.2m. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Glasgow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Glasgow
