Towards a common standard: comparing European and American cities

Alan Freeman

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper assesses to what extent it is possible to construct standardised geographical definitions of cities that will allow American and European cities to be compared in a consistent manner. It reproduces, in citable form and, for scholarly purposes, the report of the same name produced by the author for the Greater London Authority.
