the definition follows a ‘bricks and mortar’ approach, with areas defined as built-up land with a minimum area of 20 hectares (200,000 m 2), while settlements within 200 metres of each other are linked. Built-up area sub-divisions are also identified to provide greater detail in the data, especially in the larger conurbations. [1]

This table shows all cities or conurbations with a total urbanised area of at least 5,000 km 2, according to Demographia's annual World Urban Areas [62] publication, that uses a consistent methodology between countries to provide comparable population and area figures.
