Ric Adamski, a Dallas-based urban planner and urbanist, posted this image to Twitter recently with the following comment:
I’ve seen this data, but it blows my mind to see it laid out like this. And this was in 2014, so regions like mine (Dallas – Fort Worth) would be slightly bigger now.
I stared at the details of the various cities' sizes and populations for a while, I admit. Tokyo, with 35 million people, is substantially smaller than Chicagoland with 9.7 million. Lagos, with 21 million, is about the size of Las Vegas, with 2.1 million.
And Cleveland looks like a running T-Rex.
