While I would normally say "wow that is very impressive", keep in mind that the physical land area of the City of London is around 420 square kilometres, and only 220 square kilometres is actually urbanized. Is Mr. Brown referring to the urbanized land mass or the actual land mass of the city? Because if he is including the latter, then the figures are skewed by all sorts of low-value agricultural land.
