1. DEMOGRAPHIA WORLD URBAN AREAS (Urban Core & Suburban Small Area Analysis within
US Metropolitan Areas)
Demographia World Urban Areas (Built-up Urban Areas
or Urban Agglomerations) is the only annually published inventory of population, corresponding land area
and population density for urban areas with more than 500,000 population. Unlike some other regularly
produced lists, Demographia World Urban Areas applies a generally consistent definition to built-up urban
areas.1 Urban footprint data is reported without regard to political boundaries that are generally associated
with metropolitan areas or sub-national jurisdictions. A useful definition was supplied by Alex Blei, of the
NYU (New York University) Stern Marron Institute Urban Expansion Project, who described urban areas as
contiguous or mostly contiguous built-up areas that “function as an integrated economic unit, linked
together by commuting flows, social and economic interactions.”2

Demographia World Urban Areas contains population, land area and population density for the nearly
1,000 identified built-up urban areas in the world with 500,000 or more population. The total population of
these urban areas is estimated at 2.27 billion, representing 51.4 percent of the world urban population in
2021.3

Some other urban agglomeration lists mix metropolitan areas, municipalities (parts of metropolitan areas) and
urban areas (built up urban areas or agglomerations). None of these lists include urban land area data. The United
Nations list is unique in providing notes that clarify the nature of its each of its listings (core cities, metropolitan
areas, urban areas and others).

2. BUILT-UP URBAN AREAS: DEFINITIONAL ISSUES

There is considerable confusion about urban definitions, as is discussed below

2.1. What is a Built-Up Urban Area?

Built-up urban areas are not metropolitan areas.

An urban area ("built-up urban area,"4 urbanized area or urban agglomeration)5 is a continuously built up
land mass of urban development that is within a labor market (metropolitan area or metropolitan region). An
urban area contains no rural land (all land in the world is either urban or rural). In some nations, the term
"urban area" is used, but does not denote a built-up urban area.6

An urban area is best thought of as the “urban footprint” --- the lighted area (“city lights”) that can be
observed from an airplane (or satellite) on a clear night.

By necessity, average population density data masks significant variations within urban areas. Within urban
areas, urban population densities can range from below 400 per square kilometer (1,000 per square mile),
particularly in North American urban areas, to over 1,000,000 per square kilometer (2,500,000 per square
mile) in informal neighborhoods7 of some Asian urban areas, such as Dhaka (See: The Evolving Urban
Form: Dhaka).8

Varying densities within urban areas are illustrated by comparing by the Phoenix urban area which is at
least 60 percent denser than the Boston-Providence urban area. Yet, the highest small area population
densities within Boston-Providence are at least five times that of the highest density areas in Phoenix.
Moreover, Boston-Providence has a far larger commercial core (“central business district” or “downtown”).
The difference is that the Phoenix suburbs are denser than the Boston-Providence suburbs.

Higher density suburbs are also responsible for making Los Angeles the most densely populated large
urban area in the United States, despite its much lower urban core densities relative to New York (See:
California’s Dense Suburbs and Urbanization9). This creates an irony that the city most associated with
urban dispersion (“urban sprawl”) in the United States is, in reality, the least dispersed (least “sprawling”).
At the same time, no urban area in the world sprawls over a larger area than New York, as is indicated in
Schedule 3.

4
"Built up urban area" is the new urban area term now used by National Statistics in the United Kingdom. It may be
the most descriptive short term for urban areas.
5
Called a "population centre" in Canada and an "urban centre" in Australia.
6
For example, in China, sub-city or sub-regional districts called “shixiaqu” (市辖区) are sometimes referred to as
urban areas. Shixiaqu resemble metropolitan areas, containing both urban and rural land. Districts designated as
urban often have large tracts of rural land on which urban development is anticipated.
7
Called slums, shantytowns or favelas in various geographical areas.

Similarly, London and Athens have similar population densities. Yet, the core densities in Athens are
considerably higher than in London. The Athens suburbs, however, are among the least dense in the high-
income world. The Essen-Dusseldorf and Milan urban areas have almost identical densities, yet core
densities are considerably higher in Milan. Demographia World Urban Areas reports the estimated
population and density of entire urban footprints, regardless of their internal density profiles.

2.2: Urban Areas Contrasted with Metropolitan Areas

An urban area (built-up urban area or urban agglomeration) is fundamentally different from a metropolitan
area. A metropolitan area is a labor market (and a housing market). It includes a principal built-up urban
area (the largest built-up urban area in the metropolitan area) as well as economically connected rural
areas (and smaller urban areas) to the outside. (Figure 1).10

Urban areas draw employees from a labor


market area larger than the area of Urban Areas & Metropolitan Areas: Contrast
continuous development. For example, EXAMPLE: PARIS URBAN & METROPOLITAN AREA
INSEE, the census authority of France
defines the Paris urban area ("unité EXURBAN: RURAL
(Non-urban)
urbaine") as 2,845 square kilometers and EXURBAN
the Paris metropolitan area (aire urbaine) BUILT-UP URBAN AREA PRINCIPAL
BUILT-UP URBAN AREA
(Example: Nemours)
as 17,100 square kilometers, indicating 412 Municipalities Including Core
(Physical city: Area of
that more than 80 percent of the land area continuous urbanization)
is outside the Paris urban area (See: The CORE
Evolving Urban Form: Paris11). Similarly, in 1 Municipality
(Ville de Paris)
the United States, 52 metropolitan areas EXURBAN: RURAL
(Non-urban)
with more than 1,000,000 population in
2010 had only 19 percent of land in urban METROPOLITAN AREA
1,798 Municipalities including Urban Municipalities
use, with the remainder of 81 percent (Functional or economic city)
being rural (See: Rural Characterin Figure 1
America’s Metropolitan Areas12).

Because of the fundamental differences between urban areas (or urban agglomerations) and metropolitan
areas, population comparisons should be made only within the two categories, not between. To mix the two
is akin to comparing “apples and oranges.”

2.3: Metropolitan Area Densities are not Urban Densities

Metropolitan area densities can be calculated, but are not a representation of urban densities, because
virtually all metropolitan areas are composed primarily of rural land, which is therefore not urban.

10
All land is that is not urban is considered rural.

Wendell Cox (2013), "Rural character in America's Metropolitan Areas, The New Geography,
http://www.newgeography.com/content/004088-rural-character-america-s-metropolitan-areas.

3
Moreover, comparing metropolitan densities areas is fraught with difficulty, because (1) there are no
international standards for delineating metropolitan areas, rendering them non-comparable between
nations and (2) geographical “building blocks” may be too large to reasonably estimate the geographical
extent of the commuting sheds that are metropolitan areas.

Even within nations, comparison of metropolitan area densities can be invalid. This is illustrated by
metropolitan areas in the United States, where counties are used as the building blocks. The size of
counties in the United States varies up to 1,500 times and, as a result, metropolitan densities are strongly
influenced by the densities of the rural areas surrounding the built-up urban areas. The metropolitan area
with the largest land area in the United States is Riverside-San Bernardino, at 27,300 square miles (71,000
square kilometers). This is nearly as large as Austria. Most of this area is well beyond commuting range,
which means that Riverside-San Bernardino is much larger than its genuine labor or housing market. The
situation is similar, but not as extreme in some other metropolitan areas of the United States. Metropolitan
area densities in the United States therefore cannot be compared with sufficient precision.

2.4: Urban Areas Contrasted with Municipalities (Cities or Communes)

An urban area is different from a municipality (also called a city, city proper, or a local government
authority). Municipalities have political boundaries that usually constitute only a part of the urban area. For
example, the city of Seoul represents less than one-half of the population (and a declining proportion) of the
Seoul-Incheon urban area, which extends well beyond the municipality. On the other hand, a municipality
may be considerably larger than an urban area and therefore contain considerable non-urban (or rural)
territory. Zaragoza, Spain is an example. A large part of the municipality of Mumbai is rural, composed of
the Rajiv Gandhi National Park and thus not included in the urban area.

The translated term "city" is generally used to denote sub-provincial (or in some cases provincial)
government areas in China. These were formally referred to as "prefectures." Generally, they include rural
areas and extend far beyond their built-up areas (such as Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan and Guangzhou). The
city of Chongqing, which has the largest population of any entity called a city (municipality) in the world
stretches far beyond any reasonable definition of a metropolitan area as a commuting shed. Like the
Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area, Chongqing covers a land area similar to that of Austria. Most
of the municipality is well beyond the commuting range of the urban area.

The Chinese term "shi" is popularly translated as "city" in English. Chinese "shi" and equivalent terms are
divisions of divisions of provinces or province equivalent. China is divided into more than 3,000 "shi"
(including equivalent geographical units) which are similar in number to the more than 3,000 counties
(including equivalent geographical units) of the United States. France has more than 30,000 communes,
with most of their respective land areas typically being rural.

2.5: Urban Areas Contrasted with Adjacent Urban Areas

This report confines urban areas to a single metropolitan area (below) or labor market area (as an
“integrated economic unit, linked together by commuting flows”). As a result, where urban areas have
grown together but remain as (labor markets), they are considered “adjacent urban areas.” Each
component urban area is separately listed.

Examples of adjacent urban areas follow:

4
 The Pearl River Delta urban areas of Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou,
Zhuhai, Guangzhou and Foshan in China’s Guangdong province are very close to one-another
and in some cases the built-up urban areas are virtually adjacent. Yet, this is not considered a
single urban area because there is not a single labor market. Demographia World Urban Areas
considers Guangzhou and Foshan as a single urban area, because they have become more
economically integrated than the other urban areas (such as by Metro system that serves both
cities). Otherwise, each of the other urban areas in the Pearl River Delta economic region is
considered to be separate. The Hong Kong and Macau urban areas are also adjacent to the
adjacent urban areas of Guangdong (see “Adjacent International Urban areas,” below). See:
Ultimate City: Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (with Photographic Tour).13
Plans call for significant transport improvements that could make all or part of this area a single
labor market in the future.

 The Yangtze River Delta (broadly defined to include Hangzhou Bay) contains a number of
nearby urban areas stretching from Zhoushan/Ningbo to Shanghai, and Nanjing. This includes
the municipalities (prefectures) of Zhougshan, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, Jiaxing,
Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing and other smaller urban areas.
Adjacent urban areas in the Yangtze River Delta extend from Shanghai, through Suzhou and
Wuxi to Changzhou. There are two other adjacent urban areas, Hangzhou and Shaoxing as
well as Ningbo and Zhoushan. There is rural territory between Changzhou and Zhenjiang,
Zhenjiang and Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou as well as between Shaoxing and Ningbo.
Plans call for significant transport improvements that could combine some of these adjacent
urban areas into single urban areas in the future.

 The coast of Japan from Tokyo-Yokohama to Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto has nearly “grown together.”
Yet, this ribbon of urbanization is far too large to be a single metropolitan area (labor market).

 The same applies to the Northeastern "megalopolis" of the United States. There is continuous
development from the Philadelphia urban area, through the New York urban area, to the
Hartford urban area. This continuous urbanization is considered as separate built-up urban
areas because there are three labor markets (metropolitan areas).

2.6: International Urban Areas

Urban areas (and metropolitan areas) are confined to a single nation, unless there is virtual freedom of
movement (principally labor) between the adjacent nations (or jurisdictions). Freedom of movement means
that there are no customs or immigration facilities at borders, or that there are arrangements (such as
readily available permits) for residents to live and/or work in any of the adjacent jurisdictions. Currently, this
condition is met only between some continental nations of the European Union. For example, the Lille
urban area is in both France and Belgium yet is considered a single urban area because there is freedom
of labor movement without trade, immigration or customs barriers. Treaty provisions render Geneva
(Switzerland)-Annemasse (France), Basel (Switzerland) along with suburban areas of France and Germany

as a single built-up urban area. Similarly, Milan together with Chiasso in Switzerland is a single built-up
urban area (Table 1)

Table 1

Basel, Switzerland France & Germany

Milan, Italy Switzerland

However, Detroit-Windsor El Paso-Ciudad Juarez and San Diego-Tijuana are not considered single urban
areas because border controls restrict the free movement of labor. In China’s Pearl River Delta, the Macao
and Hong Kong urban areas are considered separate from Guangdong urban areas due, at least partly, to
the international-style border between the jurisdictions.

2.7: Combined Urban Areas

In the United States, single labor markets can be either metropolitan areas, or combined statistical areas
(CSAs), which are, in effect, larger metropolitan areas or metropolitan regions, with somewhat less strong
commuting interchanges.14 Where continuous urban footprints exist within CSA. Demographia World Urban
Areas combines them into a single built-up urban area. For example, the New York built-up urban area
stretches from New York to other US Census Bureau defined urban areas, such as Bridgeport-Stamford,
New Haven, and Trenton and others (Table 2).

In addition, the US Census Bureau has retained some urban areas, despite their now continuous
urbanization with other urban areas within the same metropolitan areas.15 Demographia World Urban Areas
combines them into a single built-up urban area. Cleveland and Lorain, Ohio and Orlando and Kissimmee,
Florida are examples of this (Table 2).

In Canada, where the national census authority (Statistics Canada) defines metropolitan areas, the
Toronto, Hamilton and Oshawa metropolitan areas are also considered a single labor market and are
combined into a single combined urban area. While Canada does not designate combinations of
metropolitan areas, Statistics Canada has indicated that if criteria similar to that of the United States were
applied the Toronto, Hamilton and Oshawa metropolitan areas, they would constitute a combined
metropolitan area.16

Other adjacent urban areas are combined in nations that do not report built-up urban area data. For
example, Guangzhou and Foshan, Tehran and Karaj as well as Johannesburg and Pretoria are combined
because of strong transport links that make commuting feasible.

14
Metropolitan areas require a 25 percent employment interchange between constituent counties (US metropolitan
areas are no longer based on central municipalities, but now use "central counties"). Combined statistical areas
require a 15 percent employment interchange between metropolitan areas.

3. POPULATION AND LAND AREA ESTIMATION

There are now multiple sources for population estimates within urban area polygons. A review of the
available sources has found the Commission Global Human Settlement (GHS2015) 250 meter database to
be the most appropriate for the purposes of Demographia World Urban Area population estimation.17

Some census authorities report urban area population and land area data relatively consistent with
international practice. This includes, for example, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands,
Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom and the United States. The Demographia estimates are based
on that data in most cases and also in Paris (France).The source of such estimates is shown in the column
labeled “B” in Schedules 2-5.

It is not possible to precisely coordinate the population and land area for the reporting year. Therefore
population density estimates should be considered approximate, despite the fact that they are reported
precisely from the data used.

European Commission Global Human Settlement: GHS_POP_E2015_GLOBE_R2019A_54009_250_V1_0
dataset, (https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ghs_pop2019.php).

7
The current year population estimate is modeled from the base year population, adjusted by population
projections between the base year and the current year (Table 3). Most population projection annual
percentages are derived from United Nations data.

4: DATA ISSUES

New census data and estimates as well as later satellite imagery has led to revisions in recent editions of
Demographia World Urban Areas:

 Statistical communiqués from some Chinese cities have shown population growth rates since 2010
that are far below earlier projections. This publication substitutes annual estimates based on the
rate of growth of from the 2010 census to the latest available year, in larger urban areas where
sufficient data is available (See related article: Beijing and Shanghai Limit Population Growth18).

 Canada has revised its method for delineation of built-up urban areas (population centres) in the
2016 census. Urban areas are now comprised of qualifying small area “blocks,” rather than the
former municipalities. Some municipalities included large tracts of rural land and this revision
removed these areas from the
urban areas. As a result, Megacities: 2021

matter in large urban areas. Nearly all of the world’s large urban areas have extensive suburbs of much
lower density outside the historic cores that are characterized by higher densities. Some post-automobile
urban areas have little or no high-density urban core (See: What is a Half-Urban World?19)

Median Resident Analysis: In 2021, the median world urban resident20 lives in an urban area with a
population of approximately 595,000 to 599,000. This would include (most precisely) Grand Rapids,
Michigan in the United States as well as Yaroslavl (Russia), Denizli (Turkey), Libreville (Gabon), Tianshui,
Gansu, China, Siliguri, West Bengal (India), Otsu (Japan), Hamadan (Iran) and Sangali, Maharashtra
(India).

Megacities: There are 36 megacities in the world (urban areas over 10 million population), as indicated in
Figure 2. A total of 90 urban areas have 5,000,000 or more population.

6: SPECIFIC BUILT-UP URBAN AREAS

Table 4 below notes identify some additional components of urban areas that (1) might be thought to be
separate urban areas, or (2) may be classified separate by statistical agencies or are (3) listed to indicate to
better describe the geography of an urban area. Urban areas include many more components that are not
indicated in Table 4. For example, the Paris urban area has more than 400 municipal jurisdictions.

7. CAUTION: TREND ANALYSIS

Demographia World Urban Areas is a continuing project and attempts to provide “state of the art” data.
Revisions are made as more accurate satellite photographs and population estimates become available. As
a result, Demographia World Urban Areas is not intended for trend analysis.

Year-to-year changes indicated in population and land area may merely reflect better data that was not
available before and may not, therefore indicate a trend. Moreover, the current year population estimates
are a projection from a base year. Changes in population projection rates can result in substantial current
year population estimates that may or may not reflect actual changes in population. Further, population and
land area base data is updated as new data is obtained.

8: BACKGROUND: DEMOGRAPHIA WORLD URBAN AREAS

Demographia World Urban Areas was established to offer consistency urban density analysis, in hopes of
replacing anecdotal comparisons between cities that are often invalid. The built-up urban area is the only
level at with sufficient data to estimate the densities of the urban organism at anything approximating
international standards.

Demographia World Urban Areas was the first source to identify the under-estimation of population in some
of the world’s largest urban areas. For example, Demographia’s early estimates of the Jakarta, Delhi,
Manila and Kuala Lumpur urban area populations were far higher than reported by others at the time. Other
sources have since revised their estimates upward.

Some of the earlier, lower estimates by other sources were, in actuality, municipal estimates that did not
sufficiently take into consideration the spread of urbanization beyond the core city limits or other
geographical limits. Demographia’s larger population estimates were the result of actual satellite map
examination of the urban form. Similarly, in many cases, Demographia’s estimates have been lower than
reported elsewhere for the same reason --- some other urban area estimates have included rural areas,
which, by definition, are not urban.

9: COVER ILLUSTRATION: RETIRO RAILWAY STATION: BUENOS AIRES

The cover illustration is Retiro Railway Station in Buenos Aires, with the Rio de la Plata in the background.
At this point, the Rio de la Plata is 46 kilometers (29 miles) wide, with the opposite shore being in Uruguay.
The Rio (river) del la Plata is really an estuary (bay or gulf), which widens to about 220 kilometers (140
miles) at its mouth and is considered to be the widest river in the world. Approximately 40 miles to the
north, and beyond the horizon in the picture, the Rio de la Plata reaches its northern end, where it is fed by
the Parana and Uruguay Rivers.

Retiro Station is located near the northern terminus of Avenida 9 de Julio, which at its widest has 18 lanes
of traffic and has been called the widest street in the world. Retiro is the largest suburban rail station in
Buenos Aires. About 2.7 kilometers (1.7 miles) to the south, on the Avenida 9 de Julio is Constitucion
Station, which also serves suburban trains.

17
Demographia World Urban Areas estimates the population of the Buenos Aires urban area at 16.2 million
residents in 2021, 2.9 million of whom live in the core municipality of Buenos Aires. From the 1947 to 2010
censuses, the municipality lost about 100,000 residents. United Nations data indicates that in 1950, the
Buenos Aires urban area had about 5.1 million residents. Over the past seven decades, all of the
population growth has been outside the municipality, with suburban areas adding about 11 million
residents. This is a typical pattern for core municipalities around the world that have not expanded their
geographical size (either by annexation or consolidation with another municipality).
