NYC vs. London, Tokyo and San Francisco in maps

Overlays compare NYC to other major cities

With roughly 8.4 million residents, New York City is easily the largest city in U.S. But in terms of land area, it’s only the 24th largest city (defined by the city limits) in the U.S. Internationally, NYC doesn’t even make the top 250 largest. These maps (via SquareFoot) comparing NYC to other world city’s make it clear just how dense the city really is.
