The suburbs get left out of the main city's population, elsewise. Current GTA pop is 5.9 million.To be honest, the other burbs left out of that figure,  but which nevertheless are composed of people who work here and sleep in those communities - puts it closer to 7 million. It's a big city.Even using current GTA def, in metropolitan areas, according to this year's figures, it's fifth, leaving aside Mexico City. It's a touch larger than Philly and bigger than Atlanta and DC.   It's a touch larger than Houston. I was wrong and it looks like Dallas/Forth worth DOES beat it by 100k or so. By 2010, that will no longer be true.LA, NY and Chicago are bigger as well. I discounted Mexico City, as you pointed out.</blockquote>
