Getting there. In rough figures, the UK's second city Birmingham has a population of 1 million whilst London has 9 million. That allows London to be known as a '....... city'. Neither Brisbane nor Hobart, the largest cities in Queensland and Tasmania can be called that because?Has this got something to do with where the majority of people live in a state/country? Birmingham is generally known as the second city after London. So as the majority of people in Tasmania live in or around Hobart, there is no second city?
