Thanks. This is great. In the end, if we agree to go this way -- i.e. 
setting aside some cities according to an agreed upon set of 
characteristics -- we need to find a credible list to work from.

In addition to what you have posted here, we might also be able to use 
this list of large cities 
http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/urbanization/the_worlds_cities_in_2016_data_booklet.pdf 
<http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/urbanization/the_worlds_cities_in_2016_data_booklet.pdf>(which 
is derived from a larger database) and World Population Sources
