Very large urban areas have a population of over 3 million. Large urban areas have a population of over 1 million and less than 3 million. Medium urban areas have a population of over 500,000 and less than 1 million. Small urban areas have a population of less than 500,000.
The 2010 Urban Mobility Report methodology and data sources have been significantly revised and the total number of cities reported rose from 90 to 101; these figures are not comparable to those in past editions of this publication. This is due to methodological changes such as covering a 24 hour period instead of only peak periods.
