[edit] Ruhr Area
The Urban Audit definition only includes the northern part of the Rhein-Ruhr agglomeration, and excludes Dusseldorf and Koln areas. The 2001 population figure for the Ruhr Area is only 5.36 million. The official definition should be used if we're going to claim this as based on the Urban Audit program. --Polaron | Talk 18:20, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- I fully agree. I still need to search their database for LUZ that are not typical city agglomorations, eg Randstad, Rhein-Ruhr, etc. I was thinking of putting them into a separate list. JGG 22:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Either you make a list of largest cities, including only the Parisian municipality, or you make a list of metropolitan areas including the Randstad and the Ruhrarea. Like this it is misleading.

[edit] Why only cities over 1 million?

[edit] Milano
Hi, there is a big mistake about Milan. the Urban Area of Milan, the real city is of 4.280.000 people. the sprawling, the Metro Area is of 7.400.000 of people, as was for the first time officialy calculated by OECD / OCSE just 3 days ago.

OECD Territorial Reviews: Milan, Italy
"Milan is often identified as a prosperous region and an international capital of fashion and design. Once a successful industrial city located in the northern part of Italy, Milan has grown into the core of a wider industrial metropolitan region that is home to more than 7 million people. The OECD Territorial Review of Milan recognises that Milan’s historical skills endowment and its advantageous geographic location could underpin its ambition to become a southern European and Mediterranean capital. At the same time, the Review demonstrates that Milan displays disappointing international performances and seems to have lost part of its long-established drive..."
