  Largest European metropolitan areas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where the population figure is for a metropolitan area, the population of the city proper is given in the brackets.
In many cases, the list of Largest urban areas of the European Union would give figures that better reflects common understanding of the different cities' sizes as the metropolitan areas include also non-urban and suburban areas and administrative borders for cities often cut across the most urban areas.

 Wikipedia: Metropolitan area
A megalopolis consists of several interconnected cities (and their suburbs), between which people commute, and which are so close together that suburbs can claim to be suburbs of more than one city.
Megacity is a general term for cities together with their suburbs or recognized metropolitan area usually with a total population in excess of 10 million people.
Cities so merged include Winnipeg, Manitoba (this merger antedates the term, and was called "Unicity" at the time); Halifax, Nova Scotia; Toronto, Ontario; Ottawa, Ontario; Hamilton, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; Gatineau, Quebec; Longueuil, Quebec; Quebec City, Quebec; Saguenay, Quebec; and Lévis, Quebec.

 Sustainable Planning in European Cities
Many European cities have gone through, or are currently going through some form of local Agenda 21 process well (including many of the same cities that have signed the Aalborg charter), and this is another important indicator of the relevance of local sustainability.
European cities on the whole (and especially the cities examined in this study) have been able to maintain and strengthen their center cities and urban cores.
It should be emphasized that European cities on the whole are facing some serious problems and trends working against sustainability: a dramatic rise in auto ownership and use, and a continuing pattern of de-concentration of people and commerce (see Stanners and Bourdeau, 1991).

 ITS Canada: Advanced Traffic Management Systems
Current European investment in ATMS is similar to that in North America, but we expect it to grow to an annual growth rate of 9% around 2002, falling to 4% in 2007.
In many European countries, the EU is still struggling to achieve public acceptance as a legitimate executive and legislative body, and for this reason, EC officials have an inclination to eschew policy initiatives that risk public censure.
The European ATMS sensors market is developing along lines similar to those of the North American market, although the former is a little less mature and will see full deployment of traffic probes up to five years after 2006, the year by which they will see full deployment in North America.

 GaWC Research Bulletin 80
The different profiles of European cities based on the type of resident global media firms can be established with the help of a principal component analysis, which is based on a matrix table of 83 cities in Europe and 33 global media firms.
In the overview (see Figure 3) the individual cities are allotted to the four groups and emphasis is given to those cities that can be classified as alpha or beta world media cities depending on the extent of their integration into the location networks of global media firms.
This form of a city's cultural capital is concentrated to a special extent in global cities and it acts as an additional agglomerative factor in the (selective) concentration of the culture and media industries in the international urban system.

Secondly, on a finer scale, smaller cities within the wider hinterlands of these key cities can be seen to have been able to participate in telecommunications network deployment, eg Reims and Rouen in the Bassin Parisien, and Reading and Cambridge around London, albeit largely through profiting from their proximate links to the capital city.
Both the overall centrality of these cities and their particular 'gateway' locations (eg Hamburg and Bremen link towards the Nordic countries, Munich towards eastern Europe, the Rhein-Ruhr cities towards France and the Benelux) are principal reasons for the promotion of this polycentricity.
Internet connectivity remained quite high among numerous European cities along the urban hierarchy when measured in terms of binary links and redundant links, but when we looked at bandwidth connections, there was a set of top cities ahead of the rest, even if a number of other cities still had moderate levels of bandwidth too.

 Russia The Homeless - Flags, Maps, Economy, History, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International ...
When the ban ended in the early 1990s, thousands of homeless people, mostly men, appeared in Russia's cities; the majority had migrated to urban areas seeking work or were refugees from the armed conflicts that erupted in the Caucasus and Central Asia when the Soviet Union dissolved.
However, many local authorities, including those in Russia's largest European cities, continue to require Soviet-era documentation; in 1995 Moscow assessed a fee of 35 million rubles (about US$7,000) for registration as a permanent resident of the city, and several other cities adopted similar measures.
In 1995, for example, the soup kitchen of the Christian Mercy Society in Moscow, which fed 400 poor people daily, had to pay city officials to stay open, and the organization was unable to obtain a designated space in which to operate.
