> I live in a big city (larger population than Phoenix) in the Uk

That’s an interesting way of saying you live in London ;)

(Phoenix urban area is more populous than every urban area in the UK except for London)

Manchester not London.

According to Kagi the population of Greater Manchester is 2.8 million vs 1.61 for Phoenix.

You're comparing a county area (Greater Manchester) with the direct city population.

Phoenix's metro population alone is 4.8m.

You're right. Thanks for pointing that out.

I think my point stands, that even large urban areas in the UK have no SDVs.
