Not even memeing

according to Cortes Tenochtitlan was bigger, cleaner, and more orderly, than any city in Europe. He had been all over Spain, Portugal, Paris, as well as other great cities, so he knew what he was comparing it to.

Wow, thank you to showing me this.

Considering how small, cramped, and filthy the typical European city of his time was that's not really saying a whole lot.

And in the 17th century there was Osaka.

Early modern Konstantiniyye, there are several accounts of western ambassadors and travelers who say that is was a gigantic and beautiful city.

even Babylonians agreed that Nineveh was the greatest city in the world, until they razed it to the ground.

Uruk

You may be meming, but for a solid 25 years Detroit was its own tier of industrial city. It manufactured more than any other city in the world in absolute terms just because of the auto industry, let alone later military contracting.
