	Metropolitan area - free-definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A metropolitan area is a large population center consisting of a large city and its adjacent zone of influence, or of several neighboring cities or towns and adjoining areas, with one or more large cities serving as its hub or hubs.
		A metropolitan area usually combines an agglomeration (the contiguous built-up area) with peripheral zones not themselves necessarily urban in character but closely bound to the centre by employment or commerce; these zones are also sometimes known as a commuter belt, and may extend well beyond the urban periphery depending on the definition used.
		The term metropolitan area is sometimes abbreviated to 'metro', for example in Metro Manila and Washington, DC Metro Area, and then should not be mistaken to mean the metro rail system of the city.

	Urban Change in the United States and Western Europe: Comparative Analysis and Policy--Chapter 1
		The 1990 conference in Bellagio, Italy, on "Comparisons of Urban Economic Development in the United States and Western Europe, 1950-87" was an effort to improve understanding of the efficacy of urban policies by telling a cohesive tale of the cities on two continents.
		A somewhat overgeneralized summary of the positions of the contributing scholars might be that the Europeans stress the efficacy of "hard" instruments for urban policy—tangible physical infrastructure such as housing and transportation networks—and that the Americans stress the efficacy of "soft" instruments—assistance in the form of welfare grants, educational expenditures, and health insurance.
		Urban Change in the United States and Western Europe: Comparative Analysis and Policy, edited by Anita A. Summers, Paul C. Cheshire and Lanfranco Senn, is available from the Urban Institute Press (paper, ISBN 0-87766-683-0, $39.50).

	Western Europe
		The climate of Western Europe is a marine climate. Its abundant moisture comes from the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean moderates the temperature during the seasons, making the winter moist and mild, and the summer moist and cool. This influence can also be called the North Atlantic Drift.
		Western European climates tend to be noticeably milder than their latitudinal equivalents in North America because: A. Eurasia is a larger continent; B. Western Europe is closer to the North Pole; C. of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf stream; D. there are no high mountains in Western Europe.
		As a result of their central location, the nations of Western Europe: A. enjoy relatively easy potential for contact with most of the inhabited world and its resources; B. tend to be very large by world standards; C. are assured of easy markets for whatever they can produce; D. dominate decision-making at World conferences.

	Urban Transport Fact Book: Denver Index
		But in most urban areas, public transport had no overall vision for competing with the automobile beyond what might be termed “on the margin.” The new rail services generally served the same CBD markets as already existing services, with little or no new service to the newer residential and employment areas.
		Dense urban cores represent a declining share of urban area population, while CBDs represent a comparatively small and declining share of urban area employment For example, the New York CBD represents 20% of employment, while Paris and London are less than 20%.
		For urban transport to achieve its potential for contributing to the economic advancement of lower-income urban areas, it will be necessary for public policy to focus on a simple objective --- the provision of the highest level of urgent and comprehensive public transport service possible within resource constraints.

	GEO-2000: Chapter Two: The State of the Environment - Europe and Central Asia - Atmosphere

		Europe is responsible for approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions.
		In Western Europe, per capita emissions of carbon dioxide (the main greenhouse gas) fell slightly between 1990 and 1995, mainly due to economic recession, the restructuring of industry in Germany, and the switch from coal to natural gas for electricity generation.
