For those who missed the community post, the HRE video is still in production, and I will be continuing with it over the coming months. A quick Q&A for this video: Q: "Didn't Rome have 1 million people?" A: Not within the area eventually bound by the Aurelian Walls, no, as this requires an implausible population density. It may have had suburbs beyond the walls, which take its population close to 1 million according to some sources. You can read more about this in the notes page of this projects spreadsheet, linked in the description. Q: "Why are some estimates in this video different to the 2021 video about world cities?" A: I used a different dataset for part of this video, which is more up to date and detailed, but only covers Europe. In most cases the variances are small, but in some cases (such as medieval Paris and Granada) they are more significant. Q: "Why do the modern estimates in this video vary from what Google says?" If you search for a modern city's population out-of-context on a search engine, you'll probably be given the population within the official city limits. This video's data is entirely based on urban area, which in some cases goes significantly beyond the city limits.

@@johnny5247 the sources go into detail there. Apparently they just looked at urban areas and disregarded stuff like the administrative area of the city or metropolitan areas. This explains why Barcelona and not Rome is shown in the last still. But frankly only that, because some of the biggest population centres are simply missing while others are shown. Like why list Bordeaux, but not Frankfurt or Sevilla or Bergamo? Why Stuttgart, but not Valencia or Rhein-Ruhr or Katowice? Germany itself has 15 urban areas over 1 million inhabitants. Obviously the cities at their centres are smaller and they tend to be less densely populated than other european cities, but did that stop them to include Toulouse? Maybe it was a function of how densely an area is populated and how many people live there? But again, why exclude Valencia or Sevilla then?

Similarly, Paris nowadays has a population of 2.2 million, but the metro area is huge (and densly connected)

Constantinople/istanbul is well known as a major city in Europe. But it doesn’t mean other European cities like Rome are less important it’s all subjective 🔹Rome - the capital of the Roman Empire, and the capital of the Catholic Church being the seat of the pope, and probably the first city to reach 1 million inhabitants, even though in the 11th century after Rome fell the pope in Rome orchestrated the crusade and in a way indirectly reestablished romes rule in the levant. 🔹Paris. Is was the center of the European enlightenment which was one of the most important event in history. And was a major city as seen in the video as Paris consistently remain amongst the largest Europeans cites for the past 800 years. 🔹London is the capital of the largest empire in history. And is the first major industrial city. The first truly mega city as it was the first to reach 2, 3, 4 , 5 , million inhabitants. The first city to built a modern sewage system, first metro system, the first power grid system, etc etc etc making London the first truly modern city

Thank you for you video, very well made and pleasant to watch, but I have to criticize some of your figures for Paris, which are undoubtly underestimate : In the first half of the XIVth century, before the Great Plague, it had certainly not 83 000 in 1328 but around 200 000 inhabitants, as indicated in the only available medieval census of 1328 which counted the "feux fiscaux", so the number of families for a specific royal tax (the "taille") : the figure was then 61 098 "feux fiscaux", so at least 180 000 inhabitants and probably more than 200 000. It then declined brutally, (one third less so still like 130 000 +) and probably kept declining to a minimum of 100 000 around 1440 as the exhausted kingdom of France was winning its final war of the Hundred Years' War. By 1500 its population had bounced back to around 150 000 (so not 94 000). So the problem is that you miss the point that Paris was by far the largest city in Western Europe in the late medieval time (1280 - 1500), even if Italy was far more urban than France with, before the Great Plague, 4 cities above 100 000 (Milan, Venice, Genoa, Naples) and others around 40/80 000 like Florence, Palermo and Bologna (France had no such large cities apart maybe Rouen which had probably more than 40 000 inhabitants at that time). The figures for the XIXth and XXth centuries are well known and show (your figures which underestimate the growth outside the city proper during the first industrial revolution are in brackets) : 1860 : 1.9 million (1.6) - 1870 : 2.3 (2.0) - 1880 : 2.8 (2.4) - 1890 : 3.2 (2.8) - 1900 : 3.8 (3.3) - 1910 : 4.4 (3.8) - 1920 : 4.8 (4.4) - 1930 : 5.6 (5.5). In the years 1860 to 1930, before cities became car centric, there was no such thing as urban sprawl so the continuously build up area was well defined. Anyway, for the periods before 1240, from 1550 to 1850, and from 1930 to 2023, your figures are as accurate as they could be.

Very good video. Berlin really did have 4.5 million inhabitants until Germany's capitulation, 1 million more than today. Berlin was the industrial centre of Germany with world-famous companies like Siemens and Volkswagen. With the division and destruction of the city after the capitulation of Germany, the once third largest city in the world lost its importance. If it hadn't been for the division and the war, Berlin would probably have a population of 7-9 million today. Due to its rapid growth, Berlin had already created large areas of land, such as the Grunewald forest, which is still located outside the city today. At that time, it was assumed that the Grunewald would soon function as a green lung in the centre of the city.

Türkiye is in the world's second most active earthquake belt. Turkey's largest fault line passes through Istanbul. In 1999, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake occurred in the city of Izmit, only 50-100 km away from Istanbul. Three months after this earthquake, another 7.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in the city of Düzce, 300 km away from Istanbul. In these earthquakes, which took place 3 months apart, there were not many problems in the buildings in Istanbul. There was great destruction in the cities of Izmit, Adapazarı and Düzce. I experienced these 2 great earthquakes in the city of Bolu. Since I live in the village, our house was not damaged. But I felt the earthquake very strongly. The population of Istanbul is now more than 16 million. There are approximately 1.2 million buildings and around 5 million flats (independent sections). 300 thousand of 5 million independent sections are very risky structures. It is planned to build new independent sections instead of 300 thousand independent sections within 5 years. While Turkey was waiting for a big earthquake in Istanbul for years, the biggest earthquake happened in another region. On the same day, there were 2 earthquakes of 7.8 and 7.7 in a row. I think there has never been an earthquake of this magnitude in succession in the world. More than 50,000 people died. There was great destruction in 5 big cities with a population of more than 500 thousand. The population affected by this earthquake is as much as the total population of the city of Istanbul. In a possible earthquake in Istanbul, similar results may occur as in the Maraş-centered earthquakes in 2023. Tens of thousands of people may lose their lives in an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 and above. The reason for the high number of deaths in earthquakes in Turkey is the high number of buildings before 2000. Most of the buildings before 2000 are not resistant to severe earthquakes above 7. The quality of the buildings is insufficient. After 2000, earthquake regulations related to buildings were issued 3 times. Most of the buildings that are built properly with the current regulation can withstand an 8-magnitude earthquake. In the two major earthquakes in 2023, none of the approximately 300 thousand buildings built under the leadership of the state's Mass Housing Administration (TOKİ) institution, according to the new regulations, were destroyed or even damaged. More than 95% of the buildings destroyed in these earthquakes were buildings built before 2000. Unfortunately, 5% of it was destroyed due to human error and material problems. Those responsible for the buildings were arrested. Especially for the last 10 years, Turkey has been trying to make very large earthquake regulations and neighborhood-based urban transformation. However, some people in the neighborhoods and some non-governmental organizations opposed this urban transformation, that is, the demolition of old buildings and the construction of new ones, either financially or for political and other reasons. After this last earthquake, it became clear that the first priority of people is not money, but human life. The state decided to provide 50% contribution to those who want to replace their old buildings with new ones. That also had an effect. The demand for urban transformation is very high. Within a year, approximately 300 thousand new buildings will be built in the cities where the earthquake took place. 3-4 months after the earthquake, some buildings were built and started to be delivered. In 5 years, approximately 300 thousand old buildings in Istanbul will be renewed with urban transformation. If there is no earthquake in Istanbul in 5-10 years, most of the buildings in Istanbul will become resistant to an earthquake of magnitude 8 in accordance with the new regulations. I

Lenin) [There were plans to rename Moscow to Stalinodar (meaning gift of Stalin), but thank God, that failed, even Stalin himself rejected the proposal.] In 1991 or 1993, I'm not sure which year it was, it reverted to it's original name, Sankt Petersburg, or Sankt Peterburg, I'm not exactly sure how Russians spell it nowdays.
