I don't think it looks like NYC. Density might be similar, but not the size. You can count the skyscrapers on your hands.


Skyscrapers do not a city make. NYC has a population of 8.8M. The Randstad has a population of 8.4M.


Look at the area. 8261 km2 of land while NYC is 300.

We call both "city" but we might as well use 2 totally unrelated words given the differences.

As the other commenter said, NYC metropolitan area would be more comparable - 8936 km2, 19.5M people.
