Largest cities in western Europe 1800

By 1800, London had grown to be the largest city in Western Europe with just under one million inhabitants. Paris was now the second largest city, with over half a million people, and Naples was the third largest city with 450 thousand people. The only other cities with over two hundred thousand inhabitants at this time were Vienna, Amsterdam and Dublin. Another noticeable development is the inclusion of many more northern cities from a wider variety of countries. The dominance of cities from France and Mediterranean countries was no longer the case, and the dispersal of European populations in 1800 was much closer to how it is today, more than two centuries later.

至1800年，伦敦已发展成为西欧最大的城市，人口接近一百万。巴黎位居第二，人口超过五十万，那不勒斯位居第三，人口约为四十五万。当时，仅维也纳、阿姆斯特丹和都柏林等城市的居民超过二十万。另一显著的发展是，来自更多北方国家的众多城市也被纳入其中。此前法国及地中海国家的城市主导地位已不复存在，1800年的欧洲人口分布与今日情形更为接近，即便相隔两百年之久。
