I have to disappoint you but, for the 3 people that voted for 19.2 million (April 2007) are right.
short and interesting
I've searched the internet for "world's largest cities" and have seen all sorts of information:
One website says, São Paulo is the third-largest city in the world, is on another it has the fifth-largest, etc.
is clear, however, found all the cases that São Paulo among the 10 largest cities in the world his place.
Further I have experienced:
- 19.2 million inhabitants is also not quite correct - according to recent data there are nearly 19.9 million (in the metropolitan area of São Paulo City = as a core area and 38 surrounding cities).
- The metropolitan region of Sao Paulo is about 7900 km 2 . (Compare> Vienna> 415 km 2 , New York 1214 km 2 )
- the approximately 1,000 German companies in the greater Sao Paulo are the world's largest concentration German industrial companies .
- The city is built over almost 50 years has increased from 874 km 2 to 2209 km 2 .
- The city was founded in 1554 2 Jesuit missionaries .
- Religion: About 68% of urban residents are Roman Catholic, Protestant 16%, 9% atheist, etc. (Figures 2000)
- The Ibirapuera Park is the most important (and in my opinion, most beautiful) park São Paulo with 1.6 million m 2 .
- São Paulo contributes together with Paris, New York and Tokyo, the title of "International capital of gastronomy."
Thanks for voting!
