Lists like these are very had to make since the definition for metropolitan areas vary from place to place and some cities don´t have an official metropolitan area and some of the figures will probably just be for some kind of administrative area.

The US numbers posted are for CSAs which are extremely expansive. CSA numbers are useful for various sorts of planning but they are not a good measure of metropolitan areas. The smaller MSAs are much better for that. The name metropolitan statistical area sould be a hint. Actually US urbanized area are probably the closest corollary to metros in most other developed countries but I don't think there are GMP figures for those.

i admit that statistics can easily be misused and incorrectly applied, depending on the information and numbers gathered; however, poor old detroit takes a constant beating about its apparent worth, image, going down for the third time, and the like. however, she seems pretty sound, when it comes to looking at gdp numbers, what she contributes to the economy, and how she compares to other metros. looks as if she is a long way from being put out of her supposed misery. i for one want to give her a thumbs up, because she always seems to be dogged. i'm not going to get into a pissing contest on why or how it came about, who is to blame, who failed, etc., i just simply think that it is good to see her on a decent list of obvious positive things. congratulations, yall.
i just saw post 11, after i had posted. then seems to warrant some discussion and some study on my part. i realize, in america, most major metros have msa/csa designation; however, there are some that do not, e.g. memphis. perhaps, about 7-11 others, but i do know that memphis doesn't have one, which makes absolutely no rhyme or reason, especially w/ the present economic growth and the small metros that lie w/in 45-60 minutes from the city center. there is no consistent use or application of census bureau numbers or information. maybe leaving out 50,000 might not be a big deal, but when you get up to 1 to 1.2 or 3 million...well, that makes a difference.

I have a feeling this thread will be locked since it will turn into country vs country or city vs city eventually..but just to show how incorrect it is for Japan (and I know it's also very incorrect for Germany) Quote:
1. Tokyo: ¥165.01 trillion, $1545 billion PPP 2. Osaka: ¥82.122 trillion, $769 billion PPP The PWC is also entirely missing Japan's third largest metro Nagoya which has a metropolitan GDP of $420 PPP

On closer inspection this list appears to use CSA numbers for some US metros and MSA for others. The 2010 economic numbers for MSAs can be found here:
