43,744-14-12--20. other cities and towns in England (measured by Urban Area) that are larger than it. However, where Newcastle scores highly is that it has never been afraid to think big and act like a big city - seemingly much to the annoyance of nearby Sunderland! This is not a new phenomenon. Newcastle has thought big for a long time - and once upon a time it (along with the other towns on Tyneside) thought big about transport and motorways in particular.
