For those interested in such things, the urban* population in "Europe" between 500k and 15M. Text and circle diameter as a function of population. Using EC Global Human Settlement Layer (#GHSL) data here https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/

The definition of Europe is a bit fuzzy but is approximately bounded by the Ural mountains to the East

All caps text > 5M population

A cool resource with an definition of urban that I'd steal
