The chart above shows the population of each urban area with a population over 1,000,000 while the chart below shows all urban areas with a population between 500,000 and 1,000,000.  The urban areas have been normalized so as to avoid any inconsistencies with how cities and their metropolitan areas are defined by their governments.  Each urban area has similar characteristics making this the definitive method with which to compare cities across various countries.  New York and Los Angeles are by far the two largest cities.
