In our results we compare the consistently re-territorialized MUAs and the administrative units as well as their related population figures. Overall, we cover the 1692 cities with >300,000 inhabitants on our planet. For the re-territorialized MUAs we calculate population numbers using WorldPop data. Our data basis are recent mapping products derived from multi-sensoral Earth observation (EO) data – namely the Global Urban Footprint (GUF) and the GUF Density (GUF-DenS) – providing globally consistent knowledge about settlement locations and densities. With it, we re-territorialize the conventional administrative units. We assume that the urban-rural transition can be defined along this gradient. We design a settlement index composed of three indicators (settlement area, settlement area proportion and density within the settlements) describing a gradient of built-up density from the urban center to the periphery applying a sectoral monocentric city model. We understand MUAs as a territorially contiguous settlement area that can be distinguished from low-density peripheral and rural hinterlands. In order to detect spatial discrepancies between the physical and the administrative city, we present a methodology for delimiting Morphological Urban Areas (MUAs). Sprawling urban growth, however, leads to morphological city extents that may surpass conventional administrative units. Usually, global city rankings are based on nationally collected population figures, which rely on administrative units. With this work we call this ranking into question.

Paris is the most populous urban area in the European Union, but the strict definition of the administrative limits of the City of Paris results in a far lower population shown in the table. The list deals exclusively with the areas within city administrative boundaries as opposed to urban areas or larger urban zones (metropolitan areas), which are generally larger in terms of population than the main city.Īs some cities have a very narrow boundary and others a very wide, the list may not give an accurate view of the comparative magnitude of different places, and the figures in the list should be treated with caution. The cities listed all have populations over 300,000. This is a list of the largest cities in the European Union according to the population within their city boundary.
