Abstract: This note describes a method for defining the 'core urban area' and 'hinterland' of large and metropolitan cities in Britain. The definitions are made in terms of small-area ('neighbourhood') geographies used in standard Census and administrative statistics in each country (Lower Super Output Areas in England and Wales, Datazones in Scotland).
