Small and big are relative descriptions, not absolute. Jiangsu province is small compared to the major Chinese metropolitan areas. Comparing cities to world regions is rarely done.

Also I think many people would say Birmingham, England is small. Why? It isn't London.

If Birmingham – the 20th biggest urban agglomeration in Europe – is small, what should the many hundreds of smaller cities be termed?

(London is a megacity.)
