Mapping The Future

COMPLETED

UPDATE: (September 23, 2007, 8:10 GMT+8) Found a better source, namely the Wikipedia list of cities in the Philippines. It's source for population figures, in turn, is the Philippine government's census website for the year 2000.

SOURCES: List of cities in the Philippines, Google Maps, Tageo.com

NOTES: Makati is widely regarded as the nation's economic capital, Quezon City is a former capital, and the list follows the Wikipedia list, there are a few kilometers of discrepancies between sources, some cities (Batac, El Salvador, Palayan, Tagaytay, Tandag, Tangub, Trece Martires, Vigan) have less than 50,000 pop and may be removed (all I can defend is Tagaytay, which is really a popular local tourist destination)

Symphony: Would it help you in any way if the cities we post were organized alphabetically?

In any case, here is my first installment for Greece. Corinth is under the cap (~35,000), but I believe its position on the Isthmus is important enough for its inclusion. Actually, a few of the Greek cities are below the population line, but I believe they are important for one reason or another. Any can be questioned and I will endeavor to defend their inclusion. All cities are their modern incarnations, however I mostly use traditional names (i.e. Athens vs. Athinai, Sparta vs. Sparti). This is my personal preference, but I can edit it as needed.

Also, some of these may be too close together; however,I am operating under the assumption that it is better to provide you with too much information than too little.

How is Sparta still significant?

The goal of this project is for both modern and historical maps, but I'm not really sure if Symph wants to include it or not due to its past importance.
 
I could try taking away the places that don't have "- City" affixed to them, then start beating information out of the Internet for "real" city populations (I think that the populations listed in Wikipedia are populations of entire regions, and we have lots of spread out population in the backwater country).

I feel that would partially solve the density problem.

EDIT: Removed the regions without "- City" in their names except the large province capitals for now. Might add (cities without "city" in their names)/remove some more later.
