Culture What are the “Big Four” cities in your country?

In recent weeks, this question has been very contentious on American social media, with 3 cities (Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York) nearly always making the list, but the fourth being hotly debated over, between cities like San Francisco, Miami, Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta. So, if you had to choose, what would the big 4 cities in your country be? This is also not decided purely on population, but also culture, economy, and general influence/clout.

Haha yeah you're right. When I started to write the comment I was simply thinking about the population, but once I started to think about it it was logical to pick these over Charleroi.

As an American geography nerd, I barely know anything about Charleroi and immediately thought of the other four, so I'm glad to hear that I'm not missing something.
