2010 data from a range of UK population sources has Cardiff anywhere between 310,000 and 447,000. Birmingham anywhere between under 900,000 and well over 1.2 million.

These are just three that don't agree with each other. There are loads.

A lot of building flats in brownfield sites and massive expansion going on now to the north west and north east of the city. Aiming to add a quarter to the population allegedly
