which is the largest city in the world in terms of area?

Answer 1

I believe that would be Davao City in the Phillipines. With a total land area of 244,000 hectares, Davao is considered the largest city in the world.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Like many similar questions, this really depends on how one defines "city". If it is any single incorporated area, then the choice in Australia acknowledged by Guiness is correct. Many would argue, though, that this isn't really a "city" in the global sense and that most of the land counted in its area is in fact rural. If the question is limited to large cities that are generally settled throughout their incorporated areas, Moscow is a reasonable answer. Other places that might challenge Moscow include New York, Mexico City, and Tokyo. In modern times "city" often really means a continuous urban area, regardless of local governemnts. By that definition, any number of megalopoli around the world (such as Paris, London, Los Angeles, Calcutta, Cairo, Sao Paolo, and Shanghai) could compete for top honors.

Answer 3

Mount Isa, Australia, is the largest city in the world, by area; a fact born out by its accreditation in the Guinness Book of Records.

The city extends for 40,977 sq. km, or 15,817.12 square miles. Surprisingly enough, it has only 21,000 people.

Answer 4
