Town sizes in NZ are weird. Greater Wellington is 542k but feels way bigger than KW.
It's the suburban nature of most North American cities. My parents live in a city of 240,000 in Europe, but the urban area is much larger than that of Kitchener and Waterloo added together. It's easily three-plus square kilometres of city (mostly mid-rise buildings with retail components, plus substantial parks), excluding fully residential areas and the commercial zones outside of that.
