Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Cities of the World : World Cities: Population Comparisons

Introduction:
"My first World Cities quiz involved the distances between famous places. Each question this time will give four major cities and ask for the one with the greatest January, 2005 population in its greater, or agglomerated, area."


1. As mentioned the introduction, the populations we are comparing in this quiz are for agglomerations, sometimes called greater metropolian areas. Thus "New York" would include Paterson and Newark, New Jersey, etc. and "Washington D.C." would include Baltimore, Maryland, etc. The names will be the English versions. The range of metropolitan populations in this quiz is from one million to thirty-four million. Which of these four cities has largest population?
    Tel Aviv
