LIST OF URBAN AREAS BY COUNTRY
The functional urban areas identified with the methodology described in the report Redefining “urban”: A
new way to measure metropolitan areas, OECD Publishing 2012 are here listed by country and by size,
according to four classes:
Small urban areas, with population between 50,000 and 200,000
Medium-sized urban areas, with population between 200,000 and 500,000
Metropolitan areas, with population between 500,000 and 1.5 million
Large metropolitan areas, with population above 1.5 million
Each functional urban area is an economic unit characterised by densely inhabited “urban cores” and
“hinterlands” whose labour market is highly integrated with the cores. The geographic building blocks to
define urban areas are the municipalities (LAU2 in Europe and the smaller administrative units for which
national commuting data is available in non-European countries). The cores are defined using the
population grid from the global dataset Landscan, referred to circa year 2000. Polycentric cores and the
hinterlands of the functional areas are identified on the basis of commuting data (travel from home-to
work) referred to circa year 2000 (Census year).
The list of functional urban areas takes into account the results of the consultation with the European
National Statistical Institutes launched by Eurostat in June 2011 on the definition of cities and by the
OECD with Delegates from the Working Party on Territorial Indicators. This list of functional urban areas
may be reviewed on the basis of additional comments provided by Countries.
The OECD metropolitan areas database (MAD) comprises the functional urban areas with a population of
at least 500,000. A preliminary set of statistics for the metropolitan areas database are available here
www.oecd.org/gov/regional/measuringurban .

Notes:
The list of functional urban areas takes into account the results of the consultation with the US Census Bureau and US
EDA Delegates from the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators. This list of functional urban areas may be
reviewed on the basis of additional comments provided by Countries. Following this consultation the functional urban
areas identified in the United States on the basis of census tracts with at least 500,000 inhabitants have been
readjusted to counties boundaries. This adjustment is based on the identification of the counties that overlap the FUA
defined by census tracts and the inclusion of those with at least 50% of population. Due to this adjustment the
metropolitan areas of Madison, Richmond and Toledo have a population below 500,000.
The list of US functional urban areas includes also the medium-sized and small urban areas identified on the basis of
Census tracts.
