MADRID
Móstoles: 205.000
But other big city is "Alcalá de Henares", with 199.000 inh. but with more than 245.000 really (with students, etc.)
BARCELONA
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat: 252.000
SEVILLE
Dos Hermanas: 118.000
VALÈNCIA
Torrent: 75.000
BILBAO
Barakaldo: 97.000
Toronto: Mississauga 668,549
city of orlando 170,000 people metro region 3 million
city of orlando 170,000 people metro region 3 million
Don't main city ;)
Wiesbaden has around 275,000 inh. in the Rhein-Main-Srea of 3.5 million ppl.
Copenhagen:
Frederiksberg with around 92.000

If the whole Øresund-region is counted as one metropolitan area:
Malmö with around 280.000
Toronto: Mississauga 668,549
Isn't it over 700K?
I thinks that the term municpality is more appropriate.

The most populated municpality in Paris metro (outside the central city) is Boulogne Billancourt with 109,400 inhabitants but Boulogne Billancourt is more an outer district of Paris than a real independ city inside a metroplitan area.
Dallas Metro: 6.2 million

Next largest city in metro:

Ft. Worth, 675,000
Isn't it over 700K?

The number I got was from the 2006 census. :dunno:
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada:

Gatineau, Quebec, population 242,124 (2006).
Isn't it over 700K?
704,000 according to the signs on the highways into the city.
Since everyone regards San Francisco as the main city,

San Jose: 929,936 (yeah higher pop then SF)

Yes, but the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metropolitan area (1,803,643) is now considered to be separate from the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metro area (4,203,898).

I know, I know... S.F. and San Jose are parts of the same metro region and shouldn't be divided into two. But the same thing happened elsewhere in California; the L.A. metro is considered separate from Riverside-San B., even though the line that divides them is imaginary.

The most populous municipality in the San Francisco metro (besides S.F.) is actually Oakland, 397,067.
