==Dominant conurbation==
{{see also|List of largest cities throughout history|Primate city}}
The dominant [[conurbation]](s) of a country can get more benefits from the same things cities offer, attracting the rural population and urban and suburban populations from other cities. Dominant conurbations are quite often [[primate city|disproportionately large cities]], but do not have to be. For instance [[Greater Manila]] is a conurbation instead of a city. Its total population of 20 million (over 20% national population) make it a primate city, but Quezon City (2.7 million), the largest municipality in Greater Manila, and Manila (1.6 million), the capital, are normal cities instead. A conurbation's dominance can be measured by output, wealth, and especially population, each expressed as a percentage of the entire country's. Greater Seoul is one conurbation that dominates South Korea. It is home to 50% of the entire national population.<ref>[http://kosis.kr/abroad/abroad_01List.jsp?parentId=A KOSIS, Korean Statistical Information Service] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130826055149/http://kosis.kr/abroad/abroad_01List.jsp?parentId=A |date=26 August 2013 }}.{{in lang|ko}}</ref>

Though Greater Busan-Ulsan (15%, 8 million) and Greater Osaka (14%, 18 million) dominate their respective countries, their populations are moving to their even more dominant rivals, Seoul and Tokyo respectively.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jacobs|first=A.J|date=2011|title=Ulsan, South Korea: A Global and Nested 'Great' Industrial City|url=https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/51179815.pdf|journal=The Open Urban Studies Journal|volume=4|issue=8–20|pages=8–20|doi=10.2174/1874942901104010008|via=core.ac.uk|doi-access=free|access-date=27 May 2020|archive-date=24 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624102759/https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/51179815.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
