An urban area is an area where many people live and work closely together. The population density is
higher than in the surrounding are. It is where buildings are close together. Urban is the opposite of
rural, where farmlands and nature are. Urban areas are usually cities and towns. Most of the work
available in urban areas is factory and office work. Agricultural work is rare because buildings are
close together, and there is no space for farmlands.
There are different urban definitions for each country. They mostly depend on how populated
the country is and if the definition shows a true percentage of how urbanized the country is. For
example, in Poland, an urban area is any place that has the status of a town, whereas, in China, it is any
district, city, or town with a population density higher than 1,500 people per square kilometer. The
urban population definition for Canadian and Scandinavian countries depends on density. If there is a
house every 200 meters, it is classified as urban. A large urban area, with all connected areas usually
developed around some city, is called a Metropolitan area.
