The city with the largest square mileage in the world?

Question

The city with the largest square mileage in the world?

Answer 1

I think it is New York City

Answer 2

Here's the top 5 that I got from Wikipedia

1. Municipalité de Baie-James, Québec, Canada; 333,256 km²

2. Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, China; 263,953 km²

3. Altamira, Pará, Brazil; 178,078 km²

4. City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Australia 95,575 km²

5. Chongqing, China; 82,400 km²

However, you may be interested in the largest URBAN areas by land area, which are listed as follows, from http://www.demographia.com/db-wldua-area...

1. New York

2. Tokyo-Yokohama

3. Chicago

4. Atlanta

5. Philadelphia

If you check out that last site, it's interesting to note that sprawling Los Angeles is actually the densest city in the US; and the Houston is the largest "urban city" by land area.

Answer 3

Municipalité de Baie-James, Québec, Canada is 128,671 square miles, although I don't think it is technically a "city".

Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, China is 101,913 square miles. It is a city.
