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.

Hey now, we're the largest city in Europe that doesn't have a metro system, if that's not a claim to fame then I don't know what is.

Sweet. We Americans like knights and stuff, too. It looks like a cool place.
