I don't really know if that fits in the fun category. Probably it does though, because it's the birth rate that has increased - not so much immigration.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04709794851766685322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-56127572356589017412009-08-27T09:31:19.660-06:002009-08-27T09:31:19.660-06:00OK, so I went and checked on Sao Paulo myself.

There are quite a few cities who have larger land areas inside their city limits than either NYC or Mexico City. Or Sao Paulo, for that matter. If you don't count the smaller cities in Alaska or Montana and so forth, who have huge land areas but relatively low populations, or Honolulu which has a sizeable population but much water inside the city limits, I guess probably the largest city in terms of land within it's city limits which also has a pretty decent-sized population, would be Jacksonville Florida which is bigger in area than all of those other big cities. But, sheese, that's not fun. It's like choosing the world's largest bank by the number of stories in it's office building. Houston is pretty big in terms of Area and population both. I guess the only way to do it would be to find the largest city in population which has the lowest density. That will have to be your job. Not a rocket scientist here. :)Relax Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-65826450547159198282009-08-27T19:52:42.274-06:002009-08-27T19:52:42.274-06:00@Patchwork - Well, I had trouble believing that my...@Patchwork - Well, I had trouble believing that myself, but that's what the sign by the exhibit said.
