Question

How can one identify an urban agglomeration?

Answer 1

An urban agglomeration consists of any one of the following three combinations:

• a town and its adjoining urban outgrowths,
• two or more contiguous towns with or without their outgrowths, and
• a city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths together forming a contiguous spread.

Examples of urban outgrowth are railway colonies, university campuses, port areas, military cantonment, etc. located within the revenue limits of a village or villages contiguous to the town or city.
