You really need to use a term other than city to describe what you're describing. I live in a city, Edinburgh, as do the various folk who have mentioned living in Manchester etc. Their not mega sprawling metropolises like London but their still cities. You're confusing the discussion by using the term improperly.

Edinburgh has a population of 489,000. You can call it a city if you like, but it's not comparable to London in any way.

It is a city. You're inaccurately redefining the term city to meet a very narrow definition, which is confusing the discussion.

Please provide your definition of what a city is.

You can define the word how you like. London and Edinburgh aren't on the same scale.
