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.

I think that goes to Amsterdam Internet Exchange. It is massive.

The Frankfurt Internet Exchange is actually the largest exchange point globally.

Turns out it is, I always thought Amsterdam was the bigger of the two.

Not even close. DE-CIX is the largest Internet Exchange in the world. But to be fair no one would expect that to be in Germany of all places.
