The actual size of the centre is smaller then manchester i would say, not loads smaller mind, no idea about Liverpool, never been.
I think the Leeds metropolitan are is bigger than Manchester. Don't know about Liverpool though.
About the same size as Liverpool I would have thought - but then do you mean population or area, and do you mean including the greater area of the city or just the specific city ignoring surrounding settlements?

Isnt machester the second largest city in the uk?
No
Leeds city centre is a fair bit smaller than Manchester city centre, but Leeds as a city is generally more condensed (most of the centrey stuff is actually around the centre and near each other, where Manchester is quite spread apart).
Leeds is a lot nicer than Manchester, though, by any standards.

My PhD deals with these things so i'm well placed to, er, agree with Planto.
Essentially Manchester is the centre of a populous metropolitan area that includes fairly large satellite towns such as Wigan, Oldham, Bury, Stockport, etc. It's a much bigger city overall and the centre is also about twice as large as Leeds', and Liverpool's is probably slightly bigger as well. Both those cities also have more of a metropolitan size and scale (beacuse the buildings are generally five and six storeys compared to Leeds' four).
However, Leeds' compactness makes it easy to negotiate without becoming overwhelmed by the distances required to get from oine part of town to another and is therefore very good for students. It also has, imo, more pleasant feeling pedestrianised areas than Manchester which, despite having more of a 'big city feel', doesn't have a focal point on a par with Briggate (Leeds' main shopping street).
Leeds is smaller, but it isn't like Basingstoke. It feels like a city.

its:
London
Birmingham
Liverpool

Manchester

Leeds city centre itself is pretty small. Don't worry about total area, population, all of that: if you're a student you need to know Otely Road, Headingley, Hyde Park, the universities and the city centre, and that's about it. I'm sure there's huge areas of Leeds I'll never go to, because I don't need to.
