More than 90% of the "city" of Beijing is rural. They just agglomerate so they can claim to have the world's largest cities
-
How can a city be rural? I mean any sort of agglomeration cannot be rural right? It would be at least suburban/semiurban?
-
What they claim is the city of Beijing is not far off from the size of Connecticut, which has plenty of rural areas
-
So you can't compare it to NYC, which is much more tightly defined, and includes no rural land whatsoever
-
Hahahaha okay thanks. That's ridiculous
