For me it’s partly population size, but also like… Culture/global impact i guess? Rio/Sao Paulo are some of the biggest cities in the world, and a part of one of the biggest countries in the world, and they’re both “brand recognizable” names.
Beunos Aires, Toronto, Chicago, Huston, Havana and maybe more in Mexico/South America I can’t think of off the top of my head will round out the top 10ish
I mean if we’re going ALL of the Americas it’s probably Sao Paulo, NYC, Mexico City, and imo 4th is a toss up between LA and Rio De Janeiro.
Lima Peru has almost double the population of Rio
Why Rio over LA? From an external look I think Rio should be in a top four or five.
Why does say Sau Paulo beat Brasilia or Beunos Aires?
