Yup, another possible revision.

I was looking at this blog, and found out Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Tokyo are all up to Mountain level. But these are not necessarily large cities.

On the other hand, to destroy a small mountain is only Small City level to City level, which seems too low.

I think the border between Mountain and City level needs revising, to what I don't know. So fellow calc group members, please tell me what you think.

Ehhh... Tokyo, Hong Kong and LA are large cities. At least in my opinion. "Large" is pretty subjective. (Tokyo would land in the top 10 largest cities no matter how you take it, though)

But in general, especially in regards to mountains, these things vary greatly.

I mean, what a mountain is is not even clearly defined. Where I come from some things that are just around 200m high are considered "mountains".


In other words for these levels we usually take care to look if the size more or less matches what we demand for them to be. There is no point in revising it, because the size variations are so great that you will not manage to do it, without demanding them to fulfill certain requirements.

Given that these things depend 100% on how you define a border, I don't think revision is even remotely worth the effort.


It is just like our country level is average country size, not actually the lowest sizes of countries, because countries vary in size way too much.

Tokyo is, but I doubt Hong Kong is.

According to this, Tokyo is only number 10, Hong Kong is number 39 and Los Angeles is like 60-70.

Depends if you measure it after city proper, metropolitan area or urban area. In the latter two tokyo is the biggest / second biggest city.

Consider that there are at least 4416 cities world wide (likely much much more). Cities in the top 100 being large cities is by no means suprising or inaccurate.

Ok.
