Absolutely not true for Paris and France

Tokyo and London are better examples

>>180913802 (OP)

The UK

The government encouraged factory owners to sell their factories so they could invest in banking so now 80% of the UK's wealth is in houses and loans

it's pretty true

bucharest is responsible for 25% of the gdp of the cunt and it seems like everyone from all the cities are here, whilst the countryside is empty and other cities are comparatively not very populated.



it's surely an artifice as industry is much more heavily concentrated in other areas but the numbers show otherwise

That's how it works everywhere. The larger the city the wealthier it is. And services are important now everywhere not just heavy industry like in 1970.

i know, i was just responding to the thread. the quarter of the gdp figure is in line with paris, london and amsterdam if I'm not mistaken. in this sense bucharest is similar to those capital cities that over represented in the economy

its not true at all

Russia has Moscow, St. Petersburg and everything else.

Sweden, Binland, Norway, Denmark count as well

>Russia

>Sweden

Both have well-developed regional centers, Sweden has Gothenburg and one or two others, Russia even more see. Yekaterinburg, Vladivostok, Sebastopol, too many to name

Its crazy how badly Thatcher and Major fucked this country

sold off everything those pricks

Roughly the same. Paris is also denser in the centre but London is denser overall. 

>The City of Paris is the centre of the Île-de-France region with an official estimated population of 12.271.794 habitants on January 1, 2023, or about 19% of the population of France

>London's wider metropolitan area has a population of 12–14 million, depending on the definitions used. (around 20% of population)

Argentina is the largest city state in the world

This. I don't live in London but its very clear that its the only thing that matters in this country. Everywhere outside of it is just left to rot. The problem with having a single city be the financial centre of a small nation means that inevitably people leave to move to small shitholes and drive the prices up astronomically.

Not true, we got other cities beside capital that are growing like crazy and getting investments

Wasn't your industry outdated and underperforming? 

70s to 90s in Europe was this:

Italy &amp; Germany -> top dogs

France -> mid-tier

UK -> sick man of Europe

I can't blame her really even if the results ended up being disastrous, something had to be done and Labour had failed again and again when they had the chance to fix it

Not everyone can simply be a manufacturing power

UK is the quintessential example of this. The country outside of London is basically useless as far as the economy is concerned. The politicians made a conscious decision in the 60s and 70s to destroy the rest of the country (reliant upon industry and mining) in exchange for making London a tertiary economic hub.

Sounds quite familiar to me, except they also have Barcelona sucking off the remaining tit.

Do you have any industries left in the first place?
