| Definition | An urban area (built-up area) is characterised by extensive man-made structures designed to accomodate, or serve higher density human populations in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may include cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets. Urban areas are created and further developed by the process of urbanisation. Measuring the extent of an urban area helps in analysing population density and urban sprawl, and in determining urban and rural populations. | ||
