Ludhiana is the largest city in the state of Punjab. Its total land area is slightly bigger than 300 square kilometres, which accounts for approximately one-fifth of the total land area of London, and which is around half the size of Mumbai, the largest city in India. So it takes the title of the largest city in Punjab not because it matches the scale of global metropolises, but because the other cities in Punjab are comparatively smaller. Another way for you to get an idea of Ludhiana's size is to compare it to other well-known cities. For instance, it's smaller than Venice, Italy, but it's bigger than Edinburgh, Scotland.
In terms of territory, Manila is one of the smallest cities in the country. For comparison, the total land area of the biggest city in the Philippines, which is Davao City, is approximately 2500 square kilometers, while that of Manila is just about 43 square kilometers.

Let me put it this way, if you view the city from one of the tallest buildings, you'll get the feeling that it doesn't end. But at the same time it's nowhere near as big as New York or Beijing. So I would say it's big enough to be considered a big city. But it's too small to be called a megapolis (You can find a video featuring this answer on our YouTube channel called IELTS Speaking Assistant, playlist SAMPLE ANSWERS)
I don't know... It depends on what city you compare it with. For example, a Londoner would say it's a small place 'cause London is much bigger than the place where I live. I guess it's 10 or 20 times as big. But if ask a local resident, they will definitely say it's big 'cause it's one of the biggest cities in my country, the third-largest one if I'm not mistaken (You can find a video featuring this answer on our YouTube channel called IELTS Speaking Assistant, playlist SAMPLE ANSWERS)
Well, I'm from one of those everyone-knows-everyone towns. And it's so small that all the facilities are located within walking distance. Just imagine, it takes only 30 minutes to get from one end of my hometown to the other.
