Issue Date:	15-Jan-2020
Description:	An urban area is spatial concentration of people who are working in non-agricultural activities. The essential characteristic is that urban means non-agricultural. Urban can also be explained as a fairly multifaceted concept. Criteria used to define urban can include population size, space, density, and economic organization. Typically, urban is simply defined by some baseline size, like 20 000 people. The definition of an urban area changes from country to country. In general, there are no standards, and each country develops its own set of criteria for distinguishing cities or urban areas. Generally different countries of the world employ different criteria to define an urban area because the economic, political, social and cultural realities are basically different.
