The author argues that the way we define cities directly affects our conclusions about urban phenomena. The book explores how different national and international approaches to defining urban boundaries can influence our perception of population size, growth, and the characteristics of cities. The book draws from a wide range of sources, including scholarly articles and reports from international organizations.
