Definición

  • The United Nations defines an urban agglomeration as “a contiguous territory inhabited at urban levels of residential density, without regard to administrative boundaries.” Included in this definition is the idea that urban agglomerations contain a variety of places ranging from large cities to small villages with much lower density, even rural, areas interspersed among them. Commonly, one central place anchors this continuous built-up area; the other places are functionally related to it and to each other. [Source: Encyclopedia of Urban Studies; Urban Agglomeration]
