A city here follows the UN's Degree of Urbanisation method: a contiguous area averaging at least 1,500 people per km² and totalling at least 50,000. It is measured from population grids rather than municipal boundaries, so one can cover far more ground than the place it is named after, and two neighbouring centres can appear as separate cities. It can also reach across a national border, so in a few small territories the city holds more people than the territory itself.
