    Your survey is crap.
    Your population figures are way out. With some cities you've included the population of neighbouring boroughs. Liverpool where I live has a population just shy of 500k, not 900k. With Leeds you showed a photo of Bradford and Knaresborough!
    Manchester 10th place? You've only included the city council boundaries and not the urban areas, whereas Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham and Bristol you haven't.
    Put short, your survey is plainly inaccurate and inconsistent.

      I've worked what he's based this on.
      Liverpool: He's included the boroughs of Knowsley, Sefton and Wirral. Parts of Knowsley and Sefton are arguably suburbs of Liverpool, but Southport and Formby (both in Sefton) definitely aren't, nor is any of the Wirral.
      Manchester: The City of Manchester only.
      Birmingham: The whole of the West Midlands county, including Coventry, a city he also used separately.
      Nottingham: The defined urban area which includes towns in Derbyshire such as Heanor, Ilkeston and Ripley. None of these should define the city population.
      He also thinks Sunderland has a bigger population than Newcastle and Bradford, neither of which made this laughable list.
      I think what he's also done is get his stats from Wikipedia, without properly looking into them. As for his photos, well in addition to the errors I've mentioned, he featured Bristol's Park Street in the photos of Sheffield, a photo of New York in London's, and an overseas campus of Nottingham University in Nottingham's.
      All in all a badly made, inaccurate video that maybe he'd like to comment on.

    This video is full of disinformation ... it consistently confuses the population within city boundaries with the population within the "urban area" (which would include towns, villages and settlements outside the city boundary but part of the same built-up area).
    For some reason it includes the entire population of the West Midlands conurbation as living in "Birmingham" but it fails to include the entire population of the Greater Manchester conurbation as being residents of "Manchester". With Leicester it seems to think that the entire population of the outer suburbs (Wigston, Oadby, Birstall etc.) live within the city boundary and it makes some inane comment about the city being very crowded,
    All very amateur.
    And that street used at 7:00 to illustrate Sheffield is actually Park Street in Bristol!!

      I agree Roger. The population of Birmingham is about 1 million. The figure quoted here is the whole of the old West Midlands county. The population of Liverpool is about half a million, not 900000. The population of Nottingham is a 300 000 odd. Bristol just under half a million. The figures for London, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow, however I think are about right.

I'm from Sunderland so I know both Newcastle & Sunderland well. I've just finished working in Edinburgh for 5 months & it's easily bigger than Newcastle & more populated. Newcastle is highly built up but only in a small area but they've got North Tyneside & Gateshead next to it so that trebles the local population.

      @richardwills-woodward 2 года назад

      @@Christian-uj1mq The figures are based on our property company and others' combined data that shows the commuter flows and incomes of those flows set against the contiguous suburbanised landmass. In 2020, the economic footprint whereby land is contiguously urbanised and economically dependent on its core city gives the numbers above. In fact, Birmingham is slightly larger IF Telford was connected to Birmingham's suburban area and it almost is. That would give 5 million for Birmingham. Manchester does not need to include Liverpool. Liverpool and Manchester combined would see 8 million people or so. Manchester holds most of Lancashire, Cheshire, a western portion of Derbyshire plus Greater Manchester itself etc. This alone is in excess of 5.1 million. That is before we include illegal migrants or the economically dependent (for value added, non-state jobs) of Stoke. Birmingham does not have the transport infrastructure to pose any footprint on this area, Manchester however, does. We suspect that this is to do with the rail transport being too poor via Wolverhampton but remains to be proven. We have done this journey on research trips and it is clear why no-one would do it. That said, North Stoke is more strongly attached economically and is physically connected via the Cheshire suburbs. It is however, much poorer, whilst the joint second wealthiest part of England sits right on its border with Prestbury, Wilmslow etc.
      The numbers you refer to are the decades outdated 'city region' numbers which for a property developer are as irrelevant as a water bucket and well when you have tap water. We have to commission and do our own research as the powers that be in the UK refuse to measure cities by their urban area and economic footprint and rely on borders from the last century. We cannot afford to do this. So matter what Wiki (always incorrect) or other sources say, they are not measuring like for like. They list Tokyo with [all] its suburbs but only include London's borough map area - in the same list! Totally unhelpful. Regards London, it is the Southeast suburbs that are physically connected to the urbanised landmass and are one suburbanised area. The last 20 years has seen vast numbers of areas that were once separate but in the commuter-belt, join. All this from new-build (but ugly) development. Most of Southeast England is now one urban area via fingers and joins with the second largest urban rail network in the world meshing it together (after Tokyo). It is actually quite astonishing in global terms, but no-one will shout about it because the British carp and complain all the time. As property developers, this knowledge and analysis is a real help.
      If you want to see for yourself with the publicly available mapping, go to Bing Maps (not Google as its resolution is much poorer at low level), turn off the layers so you have just the satellite (without names showing), turn up the brightness on your computer, and just watch what happens as you zoom into places that from above look green. Houses - vast numbers of them make themselves clearer as you zoom in - most were not there 20-25 years ago. Kent has seen the largest increase. Go to Surrey, Hampshire and follow the fingers and mansions sat in an acre to two - you will see what would give most English a heart attack if they bothered to undertake such an anorak exercise! A Southeast England that has become London - and all urbanised area is dependent on the capital by majority of its income earners. We have a map where the dark the colour, the higher the percentage of workers and another for income. All of Southeast England is dark to mid-colour. It was shocking how wide and how dependent the area is. Tokyo, New York of course already do this. We have to obtain assistance from others to get this done. There was one reference to data carried out by the former mayor of London that stated London was 21.7 million people in reality and whilst not administratively part of it, must pretend it is so and work with the neighbouring authorities. This was how planning should be. Alas, no such brains now. Low density, leafy suburbs and detached houses explain a lot of the expansion - all fast and all recent.
