Well uk wise is the only comparison unless we are talking worldwide

Birmingham and Manchester are large cities in the UK but in the USA barely figure compared to Chicago etc

Small cities in the UK are Exeter, Oxford , Newport , Gloucester

Medium cities Swansea , Hull , Derby etc

We are bigger than those by some distance and only just behind Bristol which is one of the UKs core cities

Cardiff is not a metropolis like Glasgow or Greater Manchester but there's only a few of them in the UK
