How big is Hubli?
Hubli and Dharwad (sister cities) have a combined population of about 1.2 million people. Though technically having the same population as Boston, for example, it feels smaller: no high-rise buildings; limited infrastructure regarding roads, and it generally feels more peri-urban than urban (as Americans would think of it). That said, locals feel that Hubli is very much an urban place. Regardless, there are many neighborhoods within Hubli to explore, and as in the US, these neighborhoods often represent different cultures (Muslim versus Hindu; high-income versus low-income).
