I always thought the “biggest city” list after NY, Chicago, and LA is suspect. For example Houston and Phoenix are in the top ten but mostly because their city limits is massive and includes mostly suburbia area. I would say in reality Philadelphia is the 4th biggest “city”
Just sort by largest metro areas… LA is #2 and is more or less connected to Orange County and San Diego, which would not be included. On this sort, Philadelphia is #7.

I’ve enjoyed it on visits but it seems like the most exciting thing to do there is day drink and watch college football, which you can really do anywhere.

If D&I teaches us anything it is not a fair comparison or competition

MEXICO 🇲🇽 to USA 🇺🇸 to Czech Republic 🇨🇿 to Thailand 🇹🇭 to USA 🇺🇸 AND I’m 32.
Hey! No, these were not career moves. It was only because I wanted to live in different countries and then got the jobs. Also, in USA and Europe didn’t need work sponsor visa which it helps. If you have any questions I’ll be happy to help.
I’ve lived on three different continents.

Now take it international!
Which one did you like best? Which provides best value? Where would you most like to settle down?
Value isn’t always measured in dollars.
DC area (MD/VA), Sydney, Boston and San Diego for me!
Let’s keep going with this list!

Yah but what about Alaska?
Cool story bro. I’ve lived in three very different countries.
Cool story bro
Only one of those cities makes top 100 in the world
Except, as I suspected earlier, the website you cited is showing inaccurate data and is NOT the official UN website. The UN website was down for maintenance yesterday so I couldn’t access their list.
The correct data from the UN World Urbanization Prospects report says what I’ve been saying.
#11 New York
#23 LA
#39 Chicago
#61 Houston

What’s there to be proud of? Shouldn’t you be proud of you accomplishments or your character or something?
What’s the point of raining on the parade? Does it increase your character or accomplish something for you to be proud of?

I have a medal for you. But I don’t know your address. I’m certain the answer is only 1! 🏆
Maybe largest in the U.S. NY doesn’t even compare in size to at least 4-5 cities in China.
Comparing metro area populations is generally a better comparison than the nominal population of a city (which is somewhat arbitrary as it’s dependent on political boundaries of a city). By metro population NYC is around ~20 million vs say ~21 million for Beijing (Shanghai is a bit bigger)
