london
london is massive in area ,a lot bigger than new york and mexico city ,
Actually I am under the impression that the largest city by area is Davao City in the Philippines
the largest city in the world by land area is Hulunbuir-Inner Mongolia with a land mass of 263,953km² it is larger than most chinese provinces and bigger than 42 of the united states
@bsumm,
i think that DAVAO city,PHILIPPINES is the largest city in terms of land area................rhene cute,hehhe...
@bsumm,
Actually it is New York City. I looked up on google biggest city by land area and it brought up a site called city mayors, and on a list from 1 to 125 New York was biggest, London was 37.
As already stated by Ky65: Hulunbuir-Inner Mongolia with a land mass of 263,953km² is recognized at the largest city in the world
according to wikipedia... And Jacksonville, Florida, has been the largest city in the US (by land mass) for many years. About twice the size of NY city.
Haha i find it funny that this has gone on for so long,
Mount Isa used to hold the title, even though the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder (Western Australia) and the municipality of Chongqing (China) are both larger.
However, Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia is THE LARGEST BY AREA at 263,953 sq km (101,912.8 sq mi)
BTW the city mayors site is complete bs, and American "cities" are bs too, as they aren't one single city but are a number of towns that say they are one.
i HAVE TRAVELLD AROUND THE GLOBE BUT I HAVE NEVER CAME ACROSS CITIES LIKE CHICAGO IN USA AND KARACHI IN PAKISTAN THEY R MEGA MEGA
@bsumm,

@fishin,
I live in Calgary, and we have over 5000 square kilometers with just one million people!
@bsumm,
"The city of Calgary is situated where the impressive Canadian prairies meets the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Its' puerile, glittering skyscrapers rise out of older suburban neighbourhoods and seem oddly superimposed on this stunningly diverse landscape. Calgary continues to grow at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers. Its' population is now over 950,000 citizens. While Calgary is the fourth largest city in Canada, it is the second largest in terms of hosting head offices and one of the least expensive for wage versus cost of living compared to other major cities in Canada. It's land mass covers over 5,000 square kilometers making it the single largest metropolitan city in North America.

@fishin,
The largest city in the world by area is Mt Isa in Queensland, Australia it covers more then 40.000 sq km or 15,400 sq miles

OK, but what is the largest city in the world by weight?
@joefromchicago,
That's easy - Miami is # 1 for having the fattest people in the US.
(by state it is Mississippi).
Try to check with your naked eyes.....and your stocked knowledge, please....the largest city by land mass is PUERTO PRINCESA CITY located in the Region IV-B MIMAROPA in the PHILIPPINES. It's a wrong belief that Davao City in the Philippines is the largest....no, Puerto Princesa City "the city in the forest".
**** you it's Davao it's 2000+++ sq. km ure Mexico does not reach 2000+++ sq. km asshole
@darren ernie,
