differentiate between city agglomeration and urban agglomeration
Answers
Answer:
An urban agglomeration essentially consists of one mother city or major city and its outgrowths (located adjoining to the city or within one or 2 km distance and that are in process of getting urbanised and subsequently getting subsumed by the mother city ,also called ‘urban spread’ – examples are the classic definition of our Census: and in this I may give the example of Hyderabad which had originally 12 outgrowths (essentially rural areas) in 1971 and today are part and parcel of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
Conurbation on the other hand, essentially means two or more urban areas (in their own right) having daily functional linkages with each other, separated by vast rural tracts of more than 10 km, etc. : one example that comes to mind is the Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali-Mangalagiri Conurbation. Another example is Delhi-Ghaziabad-NOIDA-Faridabad-Meerut conurbation…

Hii mate ,
The most complicated environment - the one consisting of dense agglomerations of people, their dwellings, their means of production, their roads, and their vehicles - are also the most difficult.
City agglomeration and urban agglomeration are the same things
Urban agglomeration is a highly developed spatial form of integrated cities. It occurs when the relationships among cities shift from mainly competition to both competition and cooperation. Cities are highly integrated within an urban agglomeration, which renders the agglomeration one of the most important carriers for global economic development. Studies on urban agglomerations have increased in recent decades. In the research community, a consensus with regard to what an urban agglomeration is, how an urban agglomeration is delineated in geographic space, what efficient models for urban agglomeration management are, etc. is not reached. The current review examines 32,231 urban agglomeration-related works from the past 120 years in an attempt to provide a theoretically supported and practically based definition of urban agglomeration. In addition, through this extensive literature review and fieldwork in China, the current research identifies the four stages of an urban agglomeration’s spatial expansion and further proposes operable approaches and standards to define urban agglomerations. The study aims to provide a scientifically sound basis for the healthy and sustainable development of urban agglomerations.
An urban agglomeration is an extended city or town area comprising the built-up area of a central place and any suburbs linked by continuous urban area. INSEE, the French Statistical Institute, uses the term unité urbaine, which means continuous urbanized area.
Urban agglomeration is the spatial concentration of economic activity in cities. It can also take the form of concentration in industry clusters or in employment centres within a city. One reason that agglomeration takes place is that there exist external increasing returns, also known as agglomeration economies. Evidence indicates that there exist both urbanization economies, associated with city size, and localization economies, associated with the clustering of industry. Both effects attenuate geographically. Theoretical research has identified many sources of agglomeration economies, including labour market pooling, input sharing, and knowledge spillovers. Empirical research has offered evidence consistent with each of these.
