It's actually great German. Syntactically sophisticated. I am surprised by the use of the subsentence (not sure what the proper babe for this is) which puts the three larger cities in the middle of the last sentence. It would have been possible to place the three larger cities at the end of the sentence similar to the English example. This would have sounded a bit more bot-like, and was somehow what I expected. So seeing this particular German example is actually quite a good example showing the power of this approach.
