    Demographia World Urban Areas (Built-Up Urban Areas or Urban Agglomerations)

    11th Annual Edition: January 2015 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 metropolitan area lists, Demographia World Urban Areas applies a generally consistent definition to built-up urban areas.1 Demographia World Urban Areas has been widely cited and has been used by respected websites, such as City Mayors. 1. DEMOGRAPHIA WORLD URBAN AREAS This report contains population, land area and population density for all 1,009 identified urban areas (urban agglomerations or urbanized areas) in the world with 500,000 or more population as of the volume date. The total population of these urban areas is estimated at 2.06 billion, 53 percent of the world urban population in 2015 A number of smaller urban areas are also listed. Overall, data is provided for 1,728 urban areas of all sizes, which comprise a population of 2.2 billion people, 56 percent of the world urban population. Revisions from the last edition: Improved satellite imagery is routinely becoming available, which makes it possible to increase the accuracy of land area estimates that are not available from national census authorities. Further, the United Nations has expanded its "urban agglomeration" list

    1 Other regularly published urban agglomeration lists do not contain consistently defined entities. They tend to 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 listings (core cities, metropolitan areas, urban areas and others).

  • to include populations of 300,000 or more, from the previous 750,000 threshold. This augmented source has made it possible to expand this edition to the more than 1,000 urban areas with more than 500,000 population. Demographia World Urban Areas is not intended for trend analysis. Changes indicated in population and land area represent the latest and most accurate information available. However, there is little or no historical urban area data and sources are continually improving. As a result, changes in individual urban areas from year to year may indicate improved sources, rendering previous data non-comparable with the latest data. 2. DISTRIBUTION OF LARGE URBAN AREA POPULATION More than one-half of the population of large urban areas (500,000 and over) is in Asia, living in 532 of the 1,009 large urban areas (Figure 1). In recent years, the world has become more than one-half urban for the first time in history. This year's edition indicates that there are 34 megacities in the world (urban areas over 10 million population). A total of 75 urban areas are indicated with 5,000,000 or more population. Yet, it would be a mistake to imply that the world's urban residents live in settings similar to 5th Avenue in New York or within the fourth ring road of Beijing or in inner Paris. A sizable number of people live in urban settings that are anything but large urban (See: What is a Half-Urban World?2). Less than one quarter (23.3 percent) of the world population lives in urban areas of 1,000,000 population or more. Less than 30 percent (28.1 percent) lives in urban areas with 500,000 or more population. More than 70 percent of the world's population lives outside urban areas with 500,000 or more residents (Figure 2).3

Civco, and Alejandro M. Blei) to the Demographia data.

  • A ranking analysis of world urban areas indicates that the world median urban resident lives in Honolulu, an urban area with an estimated population of 842,000 residents in 2015. On other words, one-half of the world's urban residents live in urban areas small than Honolulu and one-half live in urban areas that are larger. 3. URBAN AREAS: DEFINITIONAL ISSUES 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 an urban area as a built-up urban area.6 An urban area is best thought of as the urban footprint --- the lighted area that can be observed from an airplane (or satellite) on a clear night. National census authorities in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States designate urban areas. Except in Australia, the authorities use a minimum urban density definition of 400 persons per square kilometer (or the nearly identical 1,000 per square mile in the United States). Urban Areas Contrasted with Metropolitan Areas: An urban area (built-up urban area or urban agglomeration) is fundamentally different from a metropolitan area. A

    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. The term "urban area" is used (or translated into English) in China and New Zealand. However, in these countries "urban areas" extend well beyond the built-up urban area and are thus more similar to metropolitan areas. 6 In China, sub-city or sub-regional districts called shixiaqu () are sometimes referred to as urban areas. Shixiaqu, however are more akin to labor markets (metropolitan areas) and extend well beyond the urban footprint. Similarly, urban areas as defined in New Zealand are more akin to labor markets (metropolitan areas) because they extend beyond the urban footprint.

  • metropolitan area is a labor market and includes substantial rural (non-urban)7 territory or area of discontinuous urban development (beyond the developed urban fringe). Urban areas draw employees from a labor market area larger than the area of continuous development. For example, INSEE, the census authority of France defines the Paris urban area ("unit urbaine") as 2,845 square kilometers and the Paris metropolitan area (aire urbaine) as 17,100 square kilometers, indicating that more than 80 percent of the land area is outside the Paris urban area. Similarly, in the United States, among the 52 metropolitan areas with more than 1,000,000 population, 81 percent of the land area is rural, not urban.8 Because of the fundamental differences between urban areas (or urban agglomerations) and metropolitan areas, it is inappropriate to compare their populations. Despite that, some lists of urban areas or metropolitan areas contain mixed and thus non-comparable data. Metropolitan Area Densities: Metropolitan area densities can be calculated. However, because there are no international standards for delineating metropolitan areas, comparisons between nations are non-comparable. Moreover, the building blocks for metropolitan areas are often far too large for comparison. Among the least useful building blocks are in the United States, where counties are used. The size of counties in the United States varies up to 1,500 times. The most expansive metropolitan area in the United States is Riverside-San Bernardino, at 27,300 square miles (71,000 square kilometers), not much smaller than Austria. Metropolitan densities in the United States therefore cannot even be validly compared even among themselves. Further, metropolitan densities should not be confused with urban densities. Urban densities can be calculated only using urban populations and excluding populations of rural areas. All metropolitan areas have rural areas and thus no metropolitan density measure can be an urban density measure. Urban Areas and Urban Extents Contrasted: In some cases, urban areas have virtually grown together, yet are still considered separate urban areas. This report confines urban areas to a single metropolitan area (below) or labor market area. Continuous urbanization that extends beyond individual labor markets (metropolitan areas) can be called "urban extents." What constitutes a particular metropolitan area is a matter of judgment and there are no generally accepted international principles for delineating metropolitan areas (unlike urban areas). However, it is necessary to draw a line, especially where adjacent urban areas have grown together, but remain essentially distinct labor markets. For example, the following urban extents are composed of more than one urban area:

    7 All land is that is not urban is considered rural. 8 Wendell Cox, "Rural character in America's Metropolitan Areas, The New Geography, " http://www.newgeography.com/content/004088-rural-character-america-s-metropolitan-areas

    Demographia World Urban Areas: 11th Annual Edition: 2015.01 (Built-Up Urban Areas or World Agglomerations) 4

  • 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) and thus considered to be multiple urban areas (an urban extent).

    The Pearl River Delta urban areas of Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Zhuhai, Guangzhou and Foshan in Chinas 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 built-up there is not a single, unified labor market. This report considers Guangzhou and Foshan as a single urban area, because they have become more economically integrated than the other urban areas. Each of the other areas in the Pearl River Delta economic region is classified as a separate urban area. The urban extent also includes Hong Kong, which would also be disqualified from being a part of an integrated Pearl River Delta urban area by virtue of border control that is virtually international in nature.

    The Yangtze River Delta contains nearby urban areas stretching from Nanjing to Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo. In most cases there is a clear rural delineation between these urban areas. Moreover, each is a separate labor market, even where there is contiguity. Each of the urban areas is thus considered separate.

    The same applies to the Northeastern "megalopolis" of the United States. The continuous urban development that exists is has rural separations in some cases and each of the major metropolitan areas represents a separate labor market. Thus virtually continuous urban areas of the Northeast corridor are considered separate.

    International Urban Areas: Urban areas (and metropolitan areas) are confined to a single nation, unless there is virtual freedom of movement (including labor) between the adjacent nations. This is indicated by the lack of customs or immigration facilities at borders, or the broad access to work permits for working in adjacent countries. 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) and the suburban areas of France and Germany and Milan together with Chiasso in Switzerland as a single urban area. However, Detroit-Windsor and San Diego-Tijuana are not considered single urban areas because there is not freedom of labor movement between the two nations. Moreover, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, adjacent urban areas in China, are considered to separate urban areas, principally because unfettered labor movement between is not permitted. Municipality (City or Commune): An urban area is different from a municipality (also often called a city or a local government authority). Municipalities have political boundaries that usually include only a part of the urban area. For example, the city of Seoul represents less than one-half of the population of the Seoul-Incheon urban area, which extends well beyond the municipality. On the other hand, a municipality may be

    Demographia World Urban Areas: 11th Annual Edition: 2015.01 (Built-Up Urban Areas or World Agglomerations) 5

  • 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 Ghandi 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 would be more appropriately called regions and many were formerly referred to as "prefectures." Generally, they 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 and the stretches far beyond any reasonable definition of a metropolitan area and also has a land area similar to that of Austria. Its population is largely rural, not urban, and is far too large to be considered a metropolitan area (unlike some Chinese "cities"). 4. URBAN POPULATION DENSITY Demographia World Urban Areas provides average urban population density data. It is not possible to perfectly coordinate the dates of current population estimates with land area estimates. As a result, population densities (calculated using current estimates) are expressed in rounded numbers (to the nearest 100). Thus, the urban population densities should be considered reasonable approximations, rather than as precise. By necessity, average data masks significant variations within urban areas. For example, the population density of the Phoenix urban area is more than half-again higher than that of the Boston urban area. Yet, the highest population densities of the Boston core are at least five times that of the highest density areas in Phoenix. Moreover, Boston has a far larger commercial core (central business district or downtown). The difference is that the Phoenix suburbs are denser than the Boston suburbs. 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 world. The Essen-Dusseldorf and Milan urban areas have almost identical densities, yet core densities are considerably higher in Milan. Demographia World Urban Areas defines the population and density of urban footprints, regardless of their internal density profiles. 5. URBAN AREA POPULATION AND LAND AREA ESTIMATE SOURCES AND ISSUES A base year population is provided for all urban areas. The base year estimate uses the methodology indicated by the coding in the Source: Population column. Current population estimates are provided for larger urban areas, using projected population growth rates, principally from the United Nations or national authorities.

    Demographia World Urban Areas: 11th Annual Edition: 2015.01 (Built-Up Urban Areas or World Agglomerations) 6

  • Base Year Population Estimates: Methods National census authority population land area data is used where it is reported for urban areas.9 For other urban areas, Demographia uses mapping software to estimate continuous urbanization. Demographia also uses small area population data, where available, to match population estimates to urban land area. Sources for Base Population & Land Area Estimates: The tables indicate the method used to estimate both the land area and the population of each urban area. The following codes are used.

    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 from lower order jurisdictions, including reduction for rural areas. D: Population estimate based upon United Nations agglomeration estimate. F: Other population estimate (including local government. N: Combined urban area using national census authority data

    Reliability: The sources of the base population estimates are, in order by reliability:

    (1) National census authorities, where representative agglomeration data is available (such as in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Sweden, Norway and Australia). India urban agglomerations are not used in some cases because the geographical size of constituent units (municipalities) includes large rural (non-urban) areas (Source codes A & N above). (2) Demographia population estimates developed by building up population estimates from lower order jurisdictional data to match the urban area boundaries. In some cases, this method includes the use of somewhat larger geographies, from which estimated rural area populations are deducted. Data is from national census authorities (Source code C). It is intended that ultimately all population estimates not directly taken from national census authorities for urban area will be estimated by this method. (3) Estimates based upon the United Nations World Urbanization Prospects database. (Source code D). (4) Other estimates (Source code F).

    9 There are exceptions. Demographia provides a separate estimate of the population for the Mumbai urban area because the Census of India definition includes substantial rural areas. Demographia also provides a separate estimate for the land area of Marseille because the INSEE definition includes a large rural territory within the urban area (a mountain range, Chaine de etoile).

  • There are concerns about the population estimates available in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Pakistan. In each of these nations, recent census data has not been reported. Both nations are growing rapidly and the data for "building up" urban area population is not available. The population estimates in Nigeria are also of concern. The 2006 census results were highly disputed For example, the federal census indicated a population for the state of Lagos of 9.1 million. A parallel census conducted by the state found the population to be 17.5 million.10 Demographia World Urban Areas bases its population on the federal census, consistent with a policy of relying on the highest legal authorities in cases of conflict. However, it is possible that the population of Lagos (and perhaps other urban areas of Nigeria) is substantially higher than indicated. 6. CURRENT YEAR POPULATION DATA A current year (2015) population estimate is provided for most urban areas, which is modeled from the base year population. The principle source of population changes estimates is the United Nations projection. 7. COMBINED URBAN AREAS In the United States, metropolitan areas may be combined into combined statistical areas, which are, in effect, larger metropolitan areas or metropolitan regions, with somewhat less stringent economic interchanges (employment commuting).11 Where the urban footprint (composing a single labor market) materially extends beyond the metropolitan area to a combined statistical area with the same "first name," Demographia creates a combined ban area. For example, the New York urban area stretches from the New York metropolitan area, well into other parts of the New York combined statistical area (into the Bridgeport, New Haven and Trenton metropolitan areas). These continuous urban areas are considered a combined urban area. In Canada, where the national census authority (Statistics Canada) also 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 could be combined.12

    10 http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/pagelinks.php?p=6 11 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 adjacent metropolitan areas. 12 http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/92f0138m/2008002/5002030-eng.htm.

    8. SMALLER URBAN AREAS (LESS THAN 500,000 POPULATION) Information is provided for some smaller urban areas. These urban areas are not representative of all urban areas under 500,000. Smaller urban areas are shown (1) to indicate urban areas often shown by international sources to be larger, (2) where national census authority data is produced for urban areas. The first instance is relevant to China. The Chinese term "shi" is popularly translated as "city" in English. Yet, "shi" does not denote urban. Chinese "shi" and their equivalent terms are simply divisions of divisions of provinces or province equivalent. China is divided into more than 3,000 "shi," most of which are primarily rural (in land area), just as the United States is divided into more than 3,000 counties and France into more than 30,000 communes, with most of their respective land area being rural. None of these divisions is inherently urban. Analysts often refer to Chinese "cities" of more than 1,000,000 population that have little urbanization. For example, Laibin is a "shi" in Guanxi, with more than 2 million residents. The local authorities have designated an urban area of more than 900,000 population. Yet the urbanization of Laibin is estimated at less than 100,000 residents. This year's edition includes the smaller urban areas in Table 2. Tables 1, 3 and 4 contain information only on the larger urban areas (500,000 and over population).

  • 9. CAUTIONS Demographia World Urban Areas is a continuing project. 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. Changes indicated in population and land area represent the latest and most accurate information available. However, there is little or no historical urban area data and sources are continually improving. As a result, changes in individual urban areas from year to year may indicate improved sources, rendering previous data non-comparable with the latest data. Moreover, all of the data is estimated. Appropriate caution is therefore advised. 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC URBAN AREAS The notes below notes identify some additional components that (1) might be thought to be separate, (2) are classified as separate by statistical agencies or are (3) listed to indicate to better describe the geography of an urban area. For example, some sources indicate that the Tehran and Karaj urban areas in Iran are separate. Demographia World Urban Areas shows Tehran and Karaj in the same urban area, which is indicated below. No attempt is made to otherwise provide an inventory of municipalities or other entities in urban areas, because of their large numbers For example, the Paris urban area has more than 400 local government authorities. Thus, the failure to list a component in an urban area name does not indicate that it has been excluded. Aachen, Germany: Includes Heerlen, Netherlands. Amersfoort, Netherlands: Included in Utrecht.
