      These are the populations of the conurbations, not the cities. For example, the West Midlands area has a population of 2.7 million, of which around 1.1 million people live in the City of Birmingham. Greater Manchester has a population of 2.8 million, of which around 600,000 live in the City of Manchester. Just imagine how few people actually live in the City of London, as opposed to Greater London.

      London is on a different scale mate, Greater London is not the entirety of the metropolitan area of London, let alone the extended unbroken urban area of London which extends into Essex, Herts, Kent, the Sussexes, Berkshire, Surrey. Vids like this are a little misleading, to refer to [for example] the Merseyside conurbation as Liverpool's metro area is a wee bit shabby and lazy, same with Brum and Manc-chester. The comparable area of the London conurbation has a population of 13-14 million people. For context I live about 40 miles north of Leicester Square, once you get south of Hatfield you're basically inside the edge of town.

London's population is always measured in this way..whereas other large UK cities are not. Manchester's M postcode area which covers the continuous city area (ie the bits of the city which now sit in Bury, Salford, Rochdale and so forth but not those towns in themselves eg Prestwich, Manchester sits in Bury Metropolitan Council area) has a population of 1.2 million. The London postcode area (is areas which have N, NW, SE, SW, E, W, EC, EC postcodes) has a population of 5.4 million. To have parity with how London's population is calculated, the built up area's population should be used in each case.

Greater manchester is almost 2 times the size of leeds but calling places like bury and Stockport manchester you then might as well have bradford and wakefield as part of leeds which would then take leeds to nearly size of manchester!

    Who ever compiled this list needs to go back to the drawing board it appears that the stats have been compiled by metro areas and urban areas not by city populations it’s a complete mosh mash and not accurate at all. Birmingham city for example has over 1 million and is twice the population as Manchester City .Manchester is a city in Greater Manchester not the other way around and the city has a population less than 600.000 . Lists should be compiled either by city proper, urban or metro populations not a combination of them in one list as it will not be accurate. As for this second city debate there isnt one Birmingham is easily the second largest city .

    You can't get two lists that are the same. Some club two cities together on the list like Leeds/Bradford. Some put the population of Manchester at 395 thousand, while others put it at 2.7 million, because some use the entire population of the 'Greater' area as the population of the city, which is a much smaller area. Historically it was always 1) London 2) Birmingham 3) Manchester 4) Sheffield 5) Leeds.
    Now there are no consistent lists, and some cities have population sizes attributed to them that bear no relationship to their historical averages. So Liverpool, Bristol, Nottingham, and Newcastle have 'populations' that have gone from 200-400 thousand previously, to 700-900 thousand, seemingly on the whim of the person writing the list.

    The problem with basing the numbers on the population of a Metropolitan Area, is that nobody can agree what should or should not be included.
    The only consensus is that everyone seems happy to include the population of the whole of Greater London, rather than just the City of London (which in itself wouldn't make the top 40). Yet Greater London also contains the City of Westminster.
    That being the case then it seems reasonable to include the population of Salford (also a city in it's own right) in the ranking for Manchester. The next logical progression is to include the whole of Greater Manchester.
    But then where do you stop? Leeds and Bradford are both cities, but their built up areas are (just about) contiguous. Is Bradford part of the Leeds Metropolitan Area? Or not? What about Birmingham and Wolverhampton (or Coventry)?
    Measuring the size of cities by population is not an exact science, as the comments to this video have proven.
    If you stick to the populations of the city limits, then the top 10 in England (apologies to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) based on the last census are:
    1. Birmingham (1.1m)
    2. Leeds (822k)
    3. Manchester (568k)

    Just to counter some of the adverse comments people have made, I can confirm, as a native who has researched this, that the figure for Leicester of 562,000 is about right, even if the city itself only has 350,000 inhabitants. The city boundary has not materially changed since 1935 but the urban build-up makes that boundary seem rather arbitrary for about 80% of its distance.
    I assume that the Nottingham figure must include not only places separated by a few miles of open countryside like Eastwood, Ilkeston and Heanor but also the rather more distant Derby.

      Greater London also holds city status in it's own right. London though is a complicated place to describe in usual terms because we tend to use the county area as the population instead of the total area. It's because it was constructed via sprawl until they adapted the Green Belt from Letchworth to restrict it which just transferred the sprawl to orbit towns like Reading, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, etc extending the unbroken area into large parts of the surrounding counties. If I were to define a simple border around London I'd probably use the equally inaccurate description of "everything inside the M25".

    I'm from Southampton. And unless the surrounding Cities of Southampton are included in the population then this is wrong. It holds roughly 1/4 of a million people is definitely not bigger than Bristol, Liverpool or Sheffield. Their like twice the size at least!

    These are the populations of the Metropolitan Areas, not the cities. Manchester must have recently overtaken Birmingham as the second largest conurbation, they were neck and neck in the last figures I saw. However, the City of Birmingham is much bigger than the City of Manchester, 1.1 million as opposed to 600K. Greater Manchester remains the most densely populated area outside of London as the West Midlands conurbation covers a greater area than Greater Manchester, so even when it had a larger population then Greater Manchester, it was less densely populated per square mile.

    Many of these cities are no longer in their parent counties: they are their own unitary authorites, i.e., counties of their own. For example, Leicester is no longer in Leicestershire. Surrounded by it it, yes, but no longer in it.

    The populations of all these cities seem grossly inflated. Probably including surrounding towns and cities within commuting distance, which really distorts the situation. Southampton's position in the list order is a joke. So, to a lesser extent, is Brighton's. And there's no way that Manchester is bigger than Birmingham.

  • @perkinscrane
    @perkinscrane 12 дней назад

    Not sure were these figures originated. There is not really a reliable way of gauging the size of these agglomerations. The largest basic building block for this is the English regions and added to them Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland. These regions are not helpful in ascertaining city populations. The next area size are parliamentary constituencies which are of approximately 75000 people each. These areas are what are generally used to give a guide to the population of cities. These districts are also not very useful in determining city populations ie using this method puts Leeds as bigger than Manchester. The reason for this is that the constituencies also form a template for local governments representation.The real truth is that knowing the nominal population of a given named city is of no real use to geographers, were as having voting areas of similar size is.
