	Agglomeration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the study of human settlements, an agglomeration is an extended city or town area comprising the built-up area of a central place (usually a municipality) and any suburbs or adjacent satellite towns.
		The term 'agglomeration' is distinct from a 'Conurbation', which is a more specific term for urban clusters where the built-up zones of influence of distinct cities or towns are connected by continuous built-up development.
		A metropolitan area is an extended agglomeration or conurbation that also includes peripheral areas not themselves necessarily urban in character but closely bound to the urban area by employment or commerce.

		Conurbation is a more specific term for urban clusters where the built-up zones of influence of distinct cities or towns have joined but each continues to act as an independent focus for a substantial part of the area.
		A metropolitan area is an extended agglomeration or conurbation including also peripheral areas not themselves necessarily urban in character but closely bound to the urban area by employment or commerce.
		The characteristics of the urban agglomeration along the middle and lower reaches of Yangtse River can be described from three aspects: (l) the trend of city distribution is apparently towards the right side.

		Migration from rural to urban areas and the transformation of rural settlements into urban places are important determinants of the high urban population growth anticipated in the less developed regions.

		So is the functional interdependence between urban forms, mobility patterns, and the impact of the city's organization on the environment.
		Another crucial stumbling block is the absence, at the level of the entire agglomeration, of a responsible political authority capable not only of governing in a technical sense but also of managing relationships between many different actors with various responsibilities and rights.
		Given the necessity of reducing state investments, of improving urban services and of instilling new dynamism into local development, it seems only natural that private entreprises should be associated in the urban development effort.

	Kochi urban agglomeration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The urban agglomeration (UA) of Kochi (pronunciation?·i; Malayalam: കൊച്ചി [Kocci]); formerly known as Cochin) is the largest UA in the Indian state of Kerala.
		Finally, the Government of India's States Reorganisation Act (1956) inaugurated a new state Kerala; incorporating Travancore-Cochin (excluding the four southern Taluks which were merged with Tamil Nadu), Malabar District, and the taluk of Kasargod, South Kanara.

		Substantial increases in the urban population of Banteay Meanchey, Kampong Speu, Kampot and Koh Kong.
		It is normal to designate an urban agglomeration for cities with populations exceeding one million, because the built-up areas of such cities frequently spread beyond their administrative boundaries in various directions.
		Such an agglomeration has been designated for the present study, by adding to the urban areas of the Phnom Penh municipality those communes of Kandal province which are contiguous to the Phnom Penh municipality, and which meet the three criteria for designation as urban.

	Mapping global urban and rural population distributions
		The United Nations itself recognizes the difficulty of defining urban areas globally, stating that, “because of national differences in the characteristics that distinguish urban from rural areas, the distinction between urban and rural population is not amenable to a single definition that would be applicable to all countries” (UN, 1998).
		In this database the population data are given for the city proper and for the urban agglomeration, including the suburban fringe adjacent to the city boundaries.
		The majority of the urban population growth to occur in developing countries, where it is projected to increase by 2.3 percent per year between 2000 and 2030, as opposed to an increase of only 0.5 percent in the more developed countries.

		But the first two are attainable in a wide variety of urban and suburban residential environments, while the third has not been achieved in the sense that NU community residents have similar automobiles per household ratios to households elsewhere.
		Rather than patterns of "rural renaissance" (some writers' allusion to a seeming reversal of urbanization in the 1970s) vs. "urban revival" (one writer's demonstration that the 1970s reversal had itself reversed), we found that private sector job growth swings were really between exurban and rural dominance (1969-77 and 1988-94) and suburban dominance (1977-88).
		Agglomeration economies have much to contribute to such a discussion because what happens to them could affect the survival of the central city, the role of the suburbs, and the potential of exurban and rural locations.

		In this age of information, high-speed computers, and global transactions, one might speculate that cities are becoming less important places, that urban agglomeration becomes obsolete as advances in global telecommunications allow for significant labor, management, and resource dispersal.
		The largest and most affluent urban regions, already well equipped with telecommunications infrastructure, are best positioned to take advantage of continued corporate centralization and the growth of new industrial spaces.
		The first is an interest in the relationship between telematics and new urban spatial forms: world city urban structures, corridor and network city clusters, and urban growth along international borderlands.

		No definition of urban places has been universally adopted by national governments, sources of data do not follow the same definition over time, and nationally-decided urban criteria is not fully available, making it difficult to develop uniform standards.
		Consensus was reached that if we truly want to research urban conditions, we need to look at urbanized areas (as opposed to only municipal boundaries, which can be either under-bounded or over-bounded in measuring “urban”).
		It was further agreed that such urban agglomerations could be calculated based on the smallest census enumeration, looking at two key aspects: population density and economic activity.

		If the growth of an urban area persists long enough to raise the area to some critical size (a quarter of a million population?) structural characteristics, such as industrial diversification, political power, huge fixed investments, a rich local market, and a steady supply of industrial leadership may almost ensure its continued growth.
		The urban activity is subject to substantial agglomeration economies (internal, external, or both), but it can use land intensively and requires a relatively insignificant amount of space.
		But because of external economies of agglomeration and the economies of channeling transfer along high-volume routes, many different kinds of trade are conducted in a single central place; and instead of a separate set of centers to handle each product, there is evolved a rough hierarchy of central places.
