Walking around Lima for the last few days has made me start to wonder about other city populations...So, I've done a little bit of research online and (mostly focusing on cities that I've been to), here's what I found out...
Lima, Peru--------------8 million
Quito, Ecuador--------1.5 million
Guayaquil, Ecuador-------3 million
Cuenca, Ecuador---------0.3 million
Buenos Aires, Argentina--16 million
Santiago, Chile---------5 million
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil---7 million
Sao Paulo, Brazil-------17 million
Mexico City, Mexico-----22 million
London, England-------12 million
Paris, France------almost 11 million
Rome, Italy----------3.6 million
Athens, Greece-------3.7 million
Sydney, Australia-----4 million
NYC, NY, USA---------18 million
LA area, CA, USA------9.9 million
Tokyo, Japan----------12 million
Osaka, Japan-----------8.8 million
Seattle, WA, USA------0.5 million
King County, WA, USA-----1.7 million
I'm sure there's some margin of error, but it was interesting to do this comparison...Also, I realize that some cities are more spread out than others. I'm sure Tokyo is a lot more condensed than other cities and Athens felt a whole lot more crowded than Paris did...
