List of Twin Cities

[edit]

I removed some that really aren't twin cities -- like Springfield, Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut, which are 30 miles apart, in different metropolitan areas, and different states; and like this listing:

* San Francisco and San Jose The two principal urban cores of the San Francisco Bay area.|group= n}} or San Francisco and Oakland, California connected by the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge over San Francisco Bay

Why are Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri not on the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.114.16.133 (talk) 02:12, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vaudreuil-Dorion?

[edit]

Hi,

Would Vaudreuil-Dorion be considered a twin city?

Suhang?

[edit]

Would Suzhou and Hangzhou constitute twin cities under this definition since they or so linked culturally and historically that Mandarin literally has a compound word that refers to them collectively? Exodvs (talk) 03:59, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti

[edit]

...are not twin cities by neither the population nor geographical metrics discussed in the article. Any input is appreciated. Pariah24 (talk) 12:06, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ypsilanti is neither a suburb nor a twin city. It's best considered a satellite city of Ann Arbor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:9000:2CB:FD81:769F:C87D:3268 (talk) 05:22, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Create" List of Twin Cities" page

[edit]

There are too many examples listed in this article and I feel that we should create a "List of Twin Cities" article so that way all of the cities listed can be moved over and can also help eliminate the too many examples tag. Dylpickle2k (talk) 02:32, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I like the idea. This page should be a description of what a twin city is and the most notable examples then we can link to the list. Grey Wanderer (talk) 17:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kansas City

[edit]

Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas are commonly mistaken as twin cities due to their similar names and confusion about which one is the central city. Kansas City, Kansas is a inner suburb (sometimes called "streetcar suburb") of the older and much more populous Kansas City, Missouri. KCK was founded when urban growth from Missouri spilled over the state line into Kansas. KCK is named after its more famous counterpart. Compare this history with the definition of twin city as spelled out in the lead of this article. Grey Wanderer (talk) 16:32, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
