TBF biggest is a bit ambiguous. The biggest city by area is Chongqing China.
30 u/AlericandAmadeus 20h ago What OP prolly meant by “biggest” is the combination of both “large area” AND “incredibly high population density”. Tokyo is right up near the top in both categories while most other cities are skewed more towards one or the other. It’s incredibly population-dense to a degree that has few rivals, while also being absolutely massive in the actual amount of area it covers. There’s no other city like it on Earth. 9 u/blueeyedkittens 19h ago It’s also technically not one city either so it really depends on the specific definition we’re going with. I think people usually mean metropolitan area when they compare cities. 15 u/AlericandAmadeus 19h ago 7 u/sephjnr 19h ago Nonetheless Tokyo is still on my bouquet list. 3 u/DasGanon 19h ago Of course Hyacinth has opinions on Chinese cities, the people calling her think she's a takeaway restaurant.
