Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of defining and delimiting urban units, a critical element in understanding cities and the process of urbanization. The author argues that the way we define cities directly affects our conclusions about urban phenomena. The book explores how differen…t national and international approaches to defining urban boundaries can influence our perception of population size, growth, and the characteristics of cities. The book draws from a wide range of sources, including scholarly articles and reports from international organizations. It delves into the historical context of urbanization, highlighting the recent rise of urban populations and the emergence of new problems associated with rapid growth. The author emphasizes the need for standardized research methods to enable meaningful international comparisons, particularly in the context of rapidly urbanizing countries. The book's insights underscore the importance of a rigorous and consistent approach to defining and delimiting urban units for accurate understanding and meaningful analysis of cities and urbanization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
