Definition: Agglomerations include a central city and neighboring communities linked to it (e.g.) by continuous built-up areas or commuters. Some agglomerations have more than one central city (e.g. "The Ruhr").

Data: The presented population figures are projected according to the previous development to the given reference date. Official censuses and estimations are mostly the basis of this computation; the definitions of agglomerations are sometimes based on unofficial or own estimates. The figures of such a statistic are all of varying, and some of suspect accuracy. There are several reasons: the varying relevance and accuracy of sources, the poor comparability of definitions of agglomerations, errors in the projection and so on.

Usage: It is allowed to use the above population figures if the following reference/link is added: Thomas Brinkhoff: The Principal Agglomerations of the World, http://www.citypopulation.de
