That's a very US or modern Asian city view. In my corner of the world, the Rhine-Ruhr area and the Franco/German/Benelux region almost all cities are < 1 million but you'd be hard pressed to not call Ghent or Rotterdam[1] or Düsseldorf a proper city.

European cities - compared to U.S at least - also maybe have the factor of how long it has been a city to contribute to how much "a city" it seems.
