All questions need a definition of terms, so what is a "major city"? This is a heated debate throughout many sources, and there does not seem to be any distinct definition of a major city. For the purpose of this question, we will use a blog page from www.city-data.com. It has been stated that a major city must have:
-An International Airport
-A metro population of around 1 million people or more
There are 151 cities in the United States with an international airport in the city. However, there are only 10 cities with a population of approximately 1 million or more throughout the country.
These 10 major cities are New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas and San Jose.
In comparison, under these guidelines, there are 2 major cities in the United Kingdom, 5 in Australia, 13 in Japan, 23 in India and 37 in China.
