EDIT: I added the countries that will ultimately have figures listed. This encompases all nations that exist on what is generally considered to be the "European Continent," which is part of the larger Eurasian landmass.

That's a handy list to have!  Learned some new cities by reading through that.

[BigCityAttitude]

Interesting... I thought the UK had more millionaire cities than London.

[samsonyuen]

Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Liverpool, Edinburgh, I believe are all millionaires or multis in their metro area.

[Spartan]

I know there are alot of countries left out, but like I said, I will add more later.

[Spartan]

Added more countries and the list od the other countries

[Allan]

As of 1999, Moscow had 8,297,900 residents in the city proper.

[BigCityAttitude]

It's Russia, what do you expect?

Edit: In 2000, Russia had a population of approx. 146 million.

[Spartan]

I knew Russia was large in population, but I was suprised to see it was that high.

I'll post more pop stats next week.

[BigCityAttitude]

Moscow has a downtown, as far as I'm concerned. Just not one distinguished by skyscrapers.

[wolfdawg54]

I thought Paris was bigger than 2 mil...

[Spartan]

It could be. Im not sure if that is city or metro population.

[BigCityAttitude]

Paris has a very large Metro, so I'm guessing 2 million is it's city population.

[M. Brown]

Wow. Moscow is pretty big.

[Christian]

Here are all cities with a population above 50 000 in Norway:

The number of population in Norway is 4 602 789 (Estimated: 4.12.2004)

Edited by Christian, 04 December 2004 - 06:44 AM.

[Allan]

Wow, there are more people in metro Detroit than there are in all of Norway.  I did not know that.  Norway does have a lot more density and historic architecture than we do here though.  

[Christian]

Yes, Norway isn't actually overcrowded... But the population increase is today one of the highest in Europa, and we may pass Denmark and Finland in a few years.

And here are all cities over 10 000 in Iceland:

Reykjavik, 113 387 (estimated 31.12.2003) (177 890 in metro)

[MathNerd05]

Icelandic names are quite nearly impossible to pronounce.

I did not realize London and Moscow were that large.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes they are hard to pronounce, its actually wors than you can imagine! They have this extremly difficult accent on many of the words. Islandic is the same as old Norwegian, or old scandinavian. But the language has growing from each other now, but i still understand the language quite a few.
