*Just a few things to note..
1. Missing Mexico City and many Canadian and some US cities, which would have definitely affected this list.
2. These are inner city populations, though for most cities metro wouldn't have made much of a difference.
3. Montreal and San Francisco are approximations and could vary by a few thousand more or less people.
Anyway, time for more pictures.
