mographia defines an urban area (urbanized area agglomeration or urban centre) as a continuously built up land mn development that is within a labor market (i.e. metropolitan area or metropolitan region), without regard forinistrative boundaries (i.e. municipality, city or commune). Except in Australia, the authorities use a minimum uity definition of 400 persons per square kilometer (or the nearly identical 1,000 per square mile in the United Sta
mographia uses maps, satellite photographs to estimate continuous urbanization. Demographia also uses small areulation data, where available, to match population estimates to urbanized land area. National census authority daented in Australia, Canada, France, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. Census of Indomerations are not used in some cases because the geographical size of constituent units (municipalities) often ie rural (non-urban) areas.
rces for population estimates and land area definitions are coded by letter in the Table below, respectively.
A: National census authority data agglomeration data (land area or population).B: Demographia land area estimate based upon map or satellite photograph analysis.C: Demographia population estimate from lower order jurisdictions, including reduction for rural areas.
D: Population estimate based upon the United Nations agglomeration estimate.E: Demographia population estimate from national census authority data.F: Other Demographia population estimate, such as from unofficial local reports.L: Demographia population estimate from local authority data.N: Combined urban area using national census authority data.W: Population estimate based upon the World Bank Urban Area 2015 estimate.
most reliable population estimates are A and N. Population estimates C are generally reliable. Population estimareliable, because it is sometimes difficult to determine whether the data is based upon metropolitan area, urban aulations or some other definition. Population estimates E are also less reliable, for generally these estimates are d

ubtracting estimated population for the rural parts of metropolitan areas based upon estimated urban versus ruralulation differentials. Population estimates coded F and L are the least reliable (e.g. Pyongyang in Democratic Peoublic of Korea (North Korea) and Tunis in Tunisia).
projected year (2013) population estimate is further calculated from the base year population estimate using popwth rate based upon the United Nations population growth rate with some exceptions.
estimates are quite different from the list of World's largest urban agglomerations produced by the United Natiorts inconsistently on urban geographic, despite its reference to agglomerations. This is evident, for example, in Mla Lumpur, Jakarta, Seoul and Moscow, where the UN data are for political jurisdictions, rather than urban areas
s, the UN data is for metropolitan area, which are larger than urban areas (such as in Brazil). Finally, the United is incomplete, excluding some significant urban areas (such as Essen–Düsseldorf in Germany).
an areas are confined to a single metropolitan area or labor market area. In some cases, urban areas have virtuallyther (e.g. Taiheiy! Belt in Japan, the Pearl River Delta in the People's Republic of China and the Northeast megae United States), yet are still considered separate urban areas.
an areas are confined to a single nation, unless there is freedom of movement (including labor) between the adjacons. Currently, this condition is met only between some continental nations of the European Union and Switzerla–Kortrijk in both France and Belgium, Aachen–Vaals in both Germany and Netherlands, Saarbrücken–Forbach
many and France, Geneva–Annemasse in both Switzerland and France, and Basel–Lörrach–Saint-Louis in Switz
many and France). Thus, Detroit–Windsor in both the United States and Canada, and San Diego–Tijuana in bothed States and Mexico are not treated as single urban areas. Moreover, Shenzhen–Hong Kong is treated as separas, principally because labor movement between the two is limited, with the former within China and the latter a inistrative region of China.
ording to the report, there are 875 identified urban areas in the world with 500,000 or more population as of 201mographia released along with the report a disclaimer, that this list of data is compiled on best available informat
e vary nature of which is changing rapidly and quality is improving as it becomes available, yet still remains higable between nations, hefty revisions are not unforeseen for the future. Appropriate caution is therefore advised.
