Different countries define "greater city" in some fairly different ways.
Greater NYC, for example, contains like a dozen smaller satellite cities and their suburbs. It includes some of the largest cities in both New Jersy and Connecticut.
Greater Tokyo is pretty similar.
Meanwhile, the City of London has a population of 8618.
Yeah, municipal boundaries are sometimes weird for historical reasons.
