Continents: 5 for Asia, 6 for Europe. Europe wins! Countries: China, Spain and Italy have 2 each, making it a 3 way tie.
The whole concept of "city" (vs. town or village) is a vague one. I looked at many definitions and their numbers all differed vastly in the number of inhabitants. I usually teach that usually villages have hundreds of people, towns usually have thousands, and cities usually have hundreds of thousands, though that's even debatable. You hear of people calling a place with 10,000 a city. It makes teaching the word "city" to ESL students difficult.
