I dislike citypopulation.de

It bothers me that citypopulation.de, the source that most quizzes use to get population information on cities, lumps a number of cities with Guangzhou, China. Guangzhou and Shenzhen, for example, are two separate megacities. Anyway, according to citypopulation, the population of the Guangzhou agglomeration is over 60 million people. I consider this to be incorrect. I think that not all of the cities that are part of Guangzhou according to citypopulation are actually part of Guangzhou, and that the Tokyo area is the largest city in the world by population.

I also don't really appreciate the fact that citypopulation doesn't count all of Chongqing as one city, but I can see why some people don't want it to because of its massive size.

It is in Eurasia. Europe and Asia are one continent, and Cyprus is part of that continent.

I agree with citypopulation.de. City limits are usually established quite a long time ago and don't accurately reflect current populations. The Pearl River Delta (including Shenzhen) is essentially one contiguous urban area, so I believe it should be regarded as one city.

What about Changzhou, Wuxi and Suzhou all counted as part of Shanghai?

More importantly, lots of city boundaries are defined differently, especially when it comes to metro areas. I just disagree with a few of citypopulation.de's definitions.
