Comments:
1) I find it interesting that it separates Foshan from Guangzhou. That is like listing Ft. Worth separate from Dallas.
2) Hong Kong is ranked only #30. By some measures, it is the top city in China. Of course, a lot can happen in the next 13 years.
3) Suzhou is part of the Shanghai metro area, I think.
4) Macau isn't listed, but that is probably because only about 1/2 million people live there.
5) Tangshan wasn't on my list of Chinese cities. It has 3.2 million in its urban area and is in Hebei province. It is part of the Greater Beijing Metro Area. I guess it is larger than Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei province, which I ranked as #24.
6) Other cities I ranked in the top 25 in China that aren't listed are: Changchun (#14), Nanchang (#19), Kaohsiung, Taiwan (#20), Zhuhai (#22), Nanning (#23).
7) For cities outside China, I last saw 25 as being far above the others. Cities on that list that are not on this one are: Osaka/Kobe (#11), Nagoya (#14), Boston (#16), Randstad (#19), Milan (#21)
8) I wouldn't rank these among the top 100 cities: Bangkok, Delhi, Jeddah, Luanda, Lima, Belo Horizonte, Ankara, Bangalore.
9) I think some US cities are being overlooked: Boston (as previously mentioned), Minneapolis, Detroit, Denver.
10) San Francisco (assuming it means the Bay Area) should be ranked a lot higher than 57.
11) Other cities that should be considered: Barcelona, Brussels, Frankfurt, Madrid, although I guess they are not expected to grow that much in the near future.
