Stockholm är inte en storstad.
Sådana där diskussioner blir ju en fråga om hur man definierar något och vilka kriterier och avgränsningar man gör. Skulle man t ex utgå ifrån en liknande definition likt den nedan finns det tre större städer i Sverige.
High Density
More than one million.
Megalopolis - a group of conurbations, consisting of more than ten million people in total.
Conurbation - a group of large cities and their suburbs, consisting of three to ten million people.
Metropolis - a large city and its suburbs consisting of multiple cities and towns. The population is usually one to three million.
Mid Density
Less than one million.
Large city - a city with a large population and many services. The population is less than 1 million but over 300,000.
City - a city would have abundant services, but not as many as a large city. The population of a city is between 100,000 and 300,000 people.
Low Density
Less than one hundred thousand.
Large town - a large town has a population of 20,000 to 100,000.
Town - a town has a population of 1,000 to 20,000.
Village - a village is a human settlement or community that is larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town. A village generally does not have many services, most likely a church or only a small shop or post office. The population of a village varies; the average population can range from hundreds to thousands.
Hamlet - a hamlet has a tiny population (less than 100) and very few (if any) services, with only a few buildings.
Isolated dwelling - an isolated dwelling would only have 1 to 5 buildings or families. It would have negligible services, if any.
