There are some serious scaling issues with canon within Stargate Atlantis and how big the city is. It is noted that it has roughly the same amount of area to explore as Manhattan, this is problematic with on-screen promotions of the city. It is also noted, within canon, that the central tower is 70 stories tall. At the same time the Daedalus is seen landed at Atlantis (200 or so meters long) and being very small in comparison. Several theories have been given to how large the city is, but we've settled on 8.5km based on the surface area of the island of Manhattan as a starting point.
