>The total area of the Pearl River Delta is about 40,000 km^2. The definition of the urban land for PRD and Tokyo as used by the World Bank report is ~7000 square kilometers (PRD) and ~5500 square kilometers (Tokyo). They do not count the entirety of either of the two. For the aforementioned areas (that they deemed urban land), they estimated them to have populations of around 42M (PRD) and around 31M (Tokyo). This area excludes Hong Kong and many other parts. Grauniad did a very poor job at getting the World Bank report's message across. |
