Surprised that Katowice is much higher than Poznań and Kraków.
Never realised this but it makes sense when you think about it.
(58 – 88-89)
DEUTSCHLAAAAND🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪!!
Woohoo🇩🇪
As this is based on the total GDP, not per capita, it is basically a form of “population list by proxy”.
Lots of hatred towards the capitals from people outside them, but truth is, most countries would be dirt poor without them and good-bye to all those government funded services.
Paris domine
Why do you count for example the Ruhr area as one metropolitan area but not the Randstad?
London had 617bil. € in 2021 for comparison.
Pointless without us knowing what each countries metropolitan region, is.
Considering that Munich, number 3. on the list has well under 20% of the population of Paris, that comes in first…. What conclusion can we reach from this list?
How would London metropolitan area rank?
honestly this list is a bit useless because its mostly decided based on how broad a country interprets cities and their metro area’s. For example under the definition used for Paris you could probably make most of the Netherlands 1 city. So basically their is no real information in this, probably should show gdp/km^2 or GDP/c or both, but just flat GDP is a bit useless with the different definitions per country of what a metro area is.
Tbf if Rhine-Ruhr is one then so should Randstad…
That’s why the Paris Metropolitan Area is overcrowded and everyone is flocking there. The most jobs by far with the biggest companies and the best public transportation system in France with 8.5 million commuters everyday.
It’s a bit disheartening because France has very beautiful regions, but there’s just not enough job opportunities if you have a master degree.
Interesting that Berlin is often bashed as undeveloped, poor and backward when its economy is greater than Milan’s- considered one of the anchors of Europe’s economy- and far more people
Cork as number 21 😅 look I love my city but that GDP (like the rest of Ireland) is grossly inflated. Apple has its EU HQ on the north side and I’m not sure if little island falls in the metropolitan area but places like Lilly and PepsiCo again inflate it
Kurwa
Didn’t expect Madrid higher than Milan
2020? Great
I miss UK in the EU stats
Germany…great
Das Münchner Kindl will be proud
How does Cork have more than Warsaw, Helsinki or Lyon?
I’m (positively) surprised Helsinki is so high on the list. It’s not exactly a huge city compared to the rest of Europe.
Constantinople would be 4
Didn’t expect to see Brescia as the fifth Italian metropolitan area, even if it’s 55th place, I’m proud of my provence
Zwolle “metropolitan” area (it has more trees than the neighbouring village)
Edit: Enschede BAHAHAHA no way people actually live there
Let’s gooo my city area is in the top 100
Last time I saw city figures (which obviously aren’t 1 to 1), and they were in dollars which is also a caveat, London was $978B and Paris $934B, both with 14.8m people, almost identical. When you look at economic data the amount of ways in which Britain and France are almost identical is kinda crazy. Population, GDP, GDP per capita, government debt to GDP, gross average wage, median wealth, military spending, R&D spending etc.
Surprised to see the Rhine-Ruhr area so high up. I remember in Highschool Geography class that this region lost a lot of money due to the closing of the coal mines and Iron works in the area
Should be per capita as it is mostly population driven
Non EU but european metropolitan regions which would fall into the top 20 are London (top 1 lol), Moscow, Istanbul and Zurich
