'It's twenty-nine minutes past five, Insert Name Here,' said the imp nervously. Vimes pulled out the Gooseberry and stared at it. 'Er.bingle bingle bingle.?' said a small and very nervous voice. (Yay I found my map! It was with the maps rather than on the triple stacked Pratchett shelf) However I can find no direct references to the size of the city and the map has no scale. Size from Wikipedia 5 miles across (8km) : I disagree with this too.
Size from Lspace 1 mile across (about 1.6km) (excluding suburbs outside the city walls) : I disagree with this What's so important about the last one? It's 100 years earlier, meaning that either Ankh-Morpork has no population growth or that all such values must be taken with a significant pinch of salt. “What sort of place is Ankh?” “A city of a million souls,” said the voice of Om, “many of them occupying bodies" - Small Gods Mort (Mort's first visit on his way to get a curry after being hired) Perhaps it's the sheer zestful vitality of the place, or maybe it's just that a city with a million inhabitants and no sewers is rather robust for poets. Poets have tried to describe Ankh-Morpork and they have failed. "Ankh-Morpork! Brawling city of a hundred thousand souls! And, as the Patrician privately observed, ten times that number of actual people." - Guard!, Guards! (thanks to Valorum) 100,000 souls and ten times more inhabitants.
