>A population of 120k would put it as a top-5 city in any medium-sized European country.
Europe only has a couple of medium-sized countries—Germany and France. 150k people wouldn't make for a top 5 city in either. 120k people is a town, not a city.
Clarification: Examples of large countries (both in terms of land mass and influence) would be Russia, China, Japan, Australia, the US, Brazil, etc
- xorcist 12y agoThose are the largest countries in Europe..? That's probably not what jaksemas meant.
- nl 12y agoEurope only has a couple of medium-sized countries—Germany and France Not sure what you are using as a definition of "medium sized", but if France and Germany are included you may want to consider the following (with roughly the same size): Spain, Italy, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Finland (Turkey of course is large too, but the European part is quite small - unlike Russia, where European part is large)
- xiaoma 12y agoFinland, Sweden and Norway have fewer people and smaller economies than some cities.
- nl 12y agoI'm not sure what your point is? If you are talking population AND area you missed a number of countries too. Incidentally the population of the Tokyo agglomeration (39 million) isn't far off Spain (46 million) or Ukraine (45 million) and is greater than Poland (38 million) as well as much greater than Australia (22 million). All that proves is that there are some cities with very large populations.
