It’s that for sure but it’s also how the density of people in the big urban conglomerates shapes the cultures. I’ve traveled pretty widely across the USA, Asia and Europe and there’s something distinct about big urban conglomerates culturally but then also something else distinct about the big urban conglomerates of the us northeast. Hard to really describe but you can see and feel it if you’re a local after having traveled widely.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I find the European cities are much more segregated by wealth, so the urban cores are typically just full of the wealthy and the tourists. In the Northeast, it's still segregated but it's more like block by block, so the "melting pot" feel is still kind of present
