Definition: Greater city

Category: Urban statistics

In some cases, the urban centre stretches far beyond its boundaries. To better capture the entire urban centre, a "greater city" level can be created. This is a fairly common approach and several greater cities have already existed: Greater Manchester, Greater Nottingham etc. This level was created for some capitals and several other large cities. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/product?code=KS-GQ-17-006&mode=view
