quick questions on cities being demographic sinks:

what is the cut off(assuming there is one). Does the rate gradually drop as towns expand, or is there a point at which fertility plunges?

I assume that there is a 'cliff' further up, given that most cities stop at 3-5 million; is that a fair assumption?

I knew about all 5 of those expansions, but I never put all the piece’s together like you did.

Might I add another: the expansion of Medieval Europe:
