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.
