*Prato (just 16 miles/25.75km from Florence) may very well be the only city in Europe where China is ranked #1 -- not only that it may also rank as the city with the highest share of China-born overall (percentage-wise) at 9.1% of the population & over 52% of the foreign population.

Apprently the ethnic Chinese population is over 45,000 which would equate to 17.6% of this small city's population. I'm very curious as to why this city is so popular with Chinese.

The Chinatown in this city is called "Santo Beijing."

The home of the Spanish Navy, the port boomed in the 16th-century as a base for exploration and trade. It has more than 100 watchtowers, including the iconic Torre Tavira, which was traditionally used for spotting ships. On the waterfront is the domed, 18th-century Cádiz Cathedral, featuring baroque and neoclassical elements...

Why are (or were) Poles so attracted to the UK? I know they're also in all the other "rich" Western European countries, but Poles seem particularly concentrated in UK.

Germany has far more but it's right next door, and Poles have been migrating to Germany since the Industrial Revolution; there was no recent bump. It seems like half the people in the Ruhr or Berlin have some distant Polish background, but Germany, despite proximity and existing presence, didn't get a million Poles in the last decade like the UK.

Urbanguy · #**192** Posted **Nov 20, 2018, 2:35 PM**

^Apparently it had a lot to do with the UK not setting immigration restrictions from the new "Accession States" to the EU and encouraging the more highly skilled & educated Poles to migrate there instead of Germany. Similarly and along with Poland there have been massive increases of immigrants from Lithuania, Latvia and Romania but so far they've been mainly settling in the larger cities.

Did the growth of Polish immigration to the UK, as well as to other richer European countries also contribute to the diminished Polish immigration to cities in the US (and possibly Canada)? Easier (or more attractive) to move to the UK vs. North America?

Even in Chicago and Toronto, the places in North America where Polish immigration still continued the latest into the 20th century (and where you still see and hear young 20 and 30-something year olds with Polish accents), it seemed to decline at the similar time that really large-scale 21st century Polish immigration to the UK started getting big.

Continuing on with our journey around the world we arrive for a brief stop in the Philippines!

...but first a little history about the Philippines as brought to you by: philippine-history.org

"There are two theories on the origins of the first Filipinos, the inhabitants of what will later be called the Philippine Islands and eventually the Republic of the Philippines.

In the beginning of the 3rd century, the inhabitants of Luzon island were in contact and trading with East Asian sea-farers and merchants including the Chinese. In the 1400's the Japanese also established a trading post at Aparri in Northern Luzon.

In 1380, Muslim Arabs arrived at the Sulu Archipelago and established settlements which became mini-states ruled by a Datu. They introduced Islam in the southern parts of the archipelago including some parts of Luzon and were under the control of the Muslim sultans of Borneo. They had a significant influence over the region for a couple of hundreds years. The Malay Muslims remained dominant in these parts until the 16th century.

Philippine History During the Spanish Colonial Times

In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer who was serving the Spanish crown, landed in Samar Island on his voyage to circumvent the globe. He explored the islands and named it Archipelago of San Lazaro. Magellan was killed during a rebellion led by a Datu named Lapu Lapu in Mactan Island (adjacent to Cebu Island). Spain continued to send expeditions to the island for financial gain and on the fourth expedition, Commander Ruy Lopez de Villalobos, named the islands: Philippines, after Prince Philip (later King Philip II), heir to the Spanish throne. Spain ruled the Philippines for 356 years.

In 1565, King Philip II appointed Miguel Lopez de Legazpi as the first Governor-General of the Philippines. Legazpi chose Manila to be it's capital because of it's natural harbor. Spain's legacy was the conversion of the people to Catholicism and the creation of the privileged landed class. Because of abuses and suppression of the Spaniards, a Propaganda Movement emerged with the aims for equality between Filipinos and Spaniards. The arrest of propagandist Dr. Jose Rizal and execution in 1896 gave fresh momentum to Filipino rebels to fight against Spain.

The secret society of the Katipunan, founded by Andres Bonifacio attacked the Spanish Garrison in San Juan with little success, while Katipuneros in Cavite Province headed by Emilio Aguinaldo defeated the Guardia Civil in Cavite. Aguinaldo's victories lead him to be elected as head of the Katipunan. The factions of Bonifacio & Aguinaldo fought and lead to the trial and execution of Bonifacio on Aguinaldo's orders. Aguinaldo later drafted a constitution and established the Republic of Biak-na-Bato in Bulacan province. In 1897, an impasse between the Spanish government and Aguinaldo arose. After negotiations between the two sides, Aguinaldo accepted an amnesty from the Spaniards and US$ 800,000.00 in exchange for his exile to Hong Kong with his government.

Philippine History During the American Era

The Spanish-American war which started in Cuba, changed the history of the Philippines. On May 1, 1898, the Americans led by U.S. Navy Admiral George Dewey, in participation of Emilio Aguinaldo, attacked the Spanish Navy in Manila Bay. Faced with defeat, the Philippines was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1898 after a payment of US$ 20 million to Spain in accordance with the "Treaty of Paris" ending the Spanish-American War. On June 12, 1898, Filipinos led by Emilio Aguinaldo declared independence. This declaration was opposed by the U.S. who had plans of taking over the colony. And this led to a guerrilla war against the Americans. In 1901, Aguinaldo was captured and declared allegiance to the United States. On the same year, William Howard Taft was appointed as the first U.S. governor of the Philippines. The U.S. passed the Jones Law in 1916 establishing an elected Filipino legislature with a House of representatives & Senate. In 1934, the Tydings-McDuffie Act was passed by the U.S. Congress, established the Commonwealth of the Philippines and promised Philippine independence by 1946. The law also provided for the position of President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. On the May 14, 1935 elections, Manuel L. Quezon won the position of President of the Philippine Commonwealth.

In accordance with the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, The Philippines was given independence on July 4, 1946 and the Republic of the Philippines was born.

Philippine History During the Japanese Occupation

On December 8, 1941, the Japanese invades the Philippines hours after bombing Pear Harbor in Hawaii. While the forces of General Douglas MacArthurGen. Douglas MacArthur retreated to Bataan, the Commonwealth government of President Quezon moved to Corregidor Island. Manila was declared an open city to prevent further destruction. After the fall of Bataan on April 9, 1942 and Corregidor, In March 1942, MacArthur & Quezon fled the country and by invitation of President Roosevelt, the Commonwealth government went into exile to Washington D.C. American and Filipino forces surrendered in May 6, 1942. Soon a guerrilla war against the Japanese was fought by the Philippine & American Armies while Filipinos were enduring the cruelty of the Japanese military against civilians.

Prior to Quezon's exile, he advised Dr. Jose P. Laurel to head and cooperate with the Japanese civilian government in the hope that the collaboration will lead to a less brutality of the Japanese towards the Filipinos. Rightly or wrongly, President Laurel and his war time government was largely detested by the Filipinos.

In October 1944, Gen. MacArthur with President Sergio Osmeña (who assumed the presidency after Quezon died on August 1, 1944 in exile in Saranac Lake, New York) returned and liberated the Philippines from the Japanese.

The Philippine Republic

On July 4, 1946, Manuel Roxas of the Nationalista Party was inaugurated as the first President of the Republic of the Philippines. Roxas died in April 1948. He was succeeded by Elpidio Quirino. Both Roxas & Quirino had to deal with the Hukbalahap, a large anti-Japanese guerrilla organization which became a militant group that discredited the ruling elite. The group was eventually put down by Pres. Quirino's Secretary of Defense, Ramon Magsaysay.

Magsaysay defeated Quirino in the 1953 elections. He was a popular president and largely loved by the people. Magsaysay died in an airplane crash on March 17, 1957 and was succeeded by Carlos Garcia.

Diosdado Macapagal won the 1961 presidential elections and soon after he changed history by declaring June 12 as independence day - the day Emilio Aguinaldo declared independence in Cavite from Spain in 1898. Aguinaldo was the guest of honour during the fist Independence Day celebrations in 1962."

I'm not sure why they count that as a separate built up area, Birkenhead is pretty much just Liverpool suburbs across the river. The larger buildings you see in the background of the pic are in Liverpool city centre.

Urbanguy · #**197** Posted **Nov 27, 2018, 2:53 PM**

^I found that to be unusual too but perhaps they are being overly technical because of the river!

Jonesy55 · #**198** Posted **Nov 27, 2018, 3:36 PM**

Yeah probably. It's a bit like counting North London and South London as separate built up areas because they are split by the Thames! Or Manhattan and New Jersey..

Could be because there are no bridge connections between the two (you have to go a few miles further up the estuary before there are a couple of bridges at Runcorn), but there are two road tunnels and one rail tunnel for the subway trains, it takes 5 minutes to get from the last station in Birkenhead to the first station in Liverpool city centre under the Mersey River, I did that journey earlier today!

Jonesy55 · #**199** Posted **Nov 27, 2018, 3:45 PM**

BTW, if anybody is wondering why German born people are #3 on that list of a random Liverpool suburb, and why they appear very highly on the lists for most UK cities it's because most of them are children of UK armed forces personnel born in Germany while their parents were stationed there.

Until fairly recently there was a sizeable British army presence in Western Germany due to the post WWII settlement. The number of German-born people in the UK is around 350,000 i think, but the number of German citizens in the UK is only around 150,000 (I've made up those figures but they are ballpark correct), the balance are almost all those kids of UK military.

Urbanguy · #**200** Posted **Nov 27, 2018, 4:22 PM**

^Interesting -- in the US they wouldn't count them as foreign-born immigrants especially if at least one of the parents were an American Citizen. There are many examples of this especially during the Vietnam War.

While in Germany, the government does not appear to count ethnic Germans from the former Soviet Union (especially Kazakhstan) as a part of the "foreign" population.

@Jonesy55, btw is there an agreed upon definition of the metropolitan area sizes and populations of the major cities in the UK? For example, the "London Commuter Belt." Is that an official designation of the size of London's metro area versus the BUA?
