Prepare to Be Agglomerated


Monday, September 19, 2005

091905.5.jpgCity Population offers fairly basic population data for cities worldwide, but the odd thing is that most of site owner's energy appears to be spent parsing cities, suburbs, and metro rings into "agglomerations" of population. By this method, Tokyo gets to count Yokohama and Kawasaki and thus becomes the world's largest agglomeration. New York is #4 because we get to eat Newark and Paterson, but not Hoboken. Poor Baltimore gets cannibalized by Washington DC.
