Best Answer

The biggest city in North America is Mexico City, and is one of the most populous cities in the world.

The answer depends on what you mean by "Biggest". If you are thinking of population size, the top three, in order of largest to smallest are, Mexico City, New York, and then Los Angeles. If you mean by biggest land area, the city in North America with the largest land area is Juneau, the capital city of Alaska, with almost the land mass of Rhode Island and Delaware combined.

The "largest city" by population would be either Mexico City or New York City. Mexico City has the largest population within the city proper, more than 8.8 million, and 21 million in the surrounding metropolitan area. New York is part of a larger complex of large cities.

The largest North American city by surface area is Wood Buffalo (Alberta), Canada, with a jurisdictional boundary of 24, 000 square miles.
The Biggest North American City Is Mexico City By Population, New York Is By Area!

This question is dependant on whether you are asking for the size of the metro region or the city itself. Mexico City is the largest city in North America (8,836,045), followed by New York City (8,103,700) and Los Angeles (3,805,400). When examining only Canada and the United Sates, the following are the largest cities (city proper only): New York City - 8,103,700 Los Angeles - 3,805,400 Chicago - 2,934,900 Toronto - 2,503,281 Houston - 2,208,180 Montréal - 1,861,900
