Sigh... No, he is not right. Who said anything about strict municipal boundaries? Rather obviously Buffalo and Detroit have metropolitan
areas that have a population greater than 1,000,000. If you don't
believe me, travel there and see for yourself, or do a couple minutes
of Googling.
So, for the record one more time (and hopefully for the last), the
cities closest to Toronto with a METROPOLITAN population greater
than 1,000,000 are Buffalo and Detroit.

Can't be both, it's Buffalo.

... But city proper, it's Montreal.

Montreal - Toronto is 550kms, did it so many times.

Toronto... need to go around Lake Ontario to buffalo to reach NYC

Zaqattaq · December 7th, 2005, 01:05 AM

City Proper: Philadelphia, PA
Metro: Pittsburgh, PA

But according to my mom and driving distance the closest metro is Baltimore, MD?
not really sure how that works out

ReddAlert · December 7th, 2005, 03:35 AM

Chicago and Toronto

Sigh..... This thread is cities, not metro, something you obviously missed. When a metro thread opens up ill keep you posted though.

So, for the record, the CITY closest to Toronto would probably be Montreal.

malek · December 7th, 2005, 05:53 PM

oh yeah obviously, thats why the 500kms number didn't make sense unless you take a plane.

Next would be somewhere in Indonesia?

Mmm, I don´t know the distances exactly. I live in Lima-Peru (7.5 millions), Arequipa in southern Peru with 1.2 millions is about 1000km south and Guayaquil in Ecuador (2.5 millions) is about the same distance or maybe a little bit further.

unoh · December 8th, 2005, 05:47 PM

seoul metro area includes Incheon(2.6million), suwon(1.1million), sungnam(1.0million)

_tictac_ · December 9th, 2005, 02:35 AM

Copenhagen excluded, Hamburg is the closest 1+ million city.
