It makes me laugh when people think Cardiff.....is bigger than .....Newcastle

As a dot on the map maybe but the urban expanse is huge . Go to Newcastle or Nottingham or Southampton , go around the places

Far bigger than Cardiff

South Hampshire is the name given to the population of the Southampton, Portsmouth built up area ..1. 6 million ......that's bigger than the south Wales built up area

You said Hampshire has a population of 1.6 million .......that's only Southampton and Portsmouth.....
So, as Cities go, Cardiff is bigger than Nottingham and Newcastle?
