Is Glasgow bigger than Liverpool?

Of course Glasgow is a "big city" well in terms of the UK definition, and in comparison to UK average city sizes. Glasgow, even when considering just the Glasgow local authourity area is the third largest city in the United Kingdom after London and Birmingham, and nearly a third larger again than Scotland's capital city - Edinburgh. Of course, if comparing Glasgow to the likes of London, New York, Paris or Tokyo then we would have to appropriatly determine the true definition of "big" in order to establish the true credentials of a city considered big, and it would probably be more suitable to call these huge cities "megalopolises" as opposed to just "big". Bear in mind that the city's population has been made artificially smaller by both changes in the Glasgow City Council boundary, and movement to the outer suburbs and towns which are outwith this boundary, but still notionally part of the Greater Glasgow metropolitan area - towns such as Clydebank, Paisley, Kirkintilloch, Rutherglen, Cambuslang, Bearsden, Milngavie etc which all still have an 0141 telephone code and a "G" postcode. The residents of these areas still use Glasgow daily for work etc, and many still identify themselves as being "Glaswegian", but who are not themselves counted in any survey for Glasgow on population counts. However, Glasgow is indeed larger than many capital cities around the world, and the Glasgow metropolitan area has a population of around 1.8-2.0 million - accounting for around one in three of the entire population of Scotland, and the truth is that many of theses sattelite towns could simply not exist if it were not for the jobs etc that Glasgow provides. The bigger city infrastructure is clearly in place in Glasgow, and it has many many historical buildings, and everything else that you would expect to have in a "big city" such as the subway (underground) entertainment, regular appearances by top bands etc etc. It has also contributed vastly to the wealth of the British economy, and helped considerably finance the British empire, and was for many many years only second to London in importance. Even today, Glasgow is the No.3 financial centre in Britain after London and Edinburgh for example. Hope this answers your question. Englishman, Coventry.
