I would love a diagram where the main category is the CMA/MA, the 2nd category is the urban area and the 3rd category is the subdivision.
That way, we could have a definite list, with all the layers underneath.
Example (those are obviously not the right numbers, just as an example);
1- Toronto CMA - 6,000,000 - 2000 sq km
a)- Toronto Urban - 5,000,000 - 1200 sq km
b.1)- Toronto city - 2,800,000 - 400 sq km
b.2)- Mississauga city - 775,000 - 300 sq km
2- Montréal CMA - 4,000,000 - 1800 sq km
a)- Montréal Urban - 3,400,000 - 1100 sq km
b.1)- Montréal city - 1,800,000 - 400 sq km
b.2)- Laval city - 450,000 - 250 sq km
Something along those lines. CMAs, urban areas and cities, all into 1 giant statistic and breakdowns for all of us to enjoy and analyze.
