Abstract

What is an urban area? How do we know it when we see it? And how do we measure the concept of urban, so that we can study it? This chapter reviews the many dimensions of urbanness in an attempt to synthesize the vast literature that exists on the topic, but focuses especially on issues of classifying places as urban or rural in such a way that changes over time in the characteristics of a place can be adequately captured by the researcher.
