I mean SF is great for example, but if you take someone from London or Tokyo there, I think they can't help but feel reminded of a nice large town, rather than a world capital.

I think Los Angeles has this feel, despite its relative lack of skyscrapers.
But as far as the original question goes, it depends on what aspect of urbanity you're talking about. I'd say Chicago simply because the downtown is huge with tons of skyscrapers, even in Asia Chicago would be one of the better skylines. This may not directly correlate with urbanity for some people but definitely helps.

This has nothing to do with overall size or cultural influence, but just to do with the level of activity and infrastructure within the core of the metro.

Yea, still Chicago or maybe LA. Miami could be a contender
