les and recommendations state that due to different characteristics of urban and rural areas across the globe a global definition is not possible 16 european countries which define urbanized areas on the basis of urban type land use not allowing any gaps of typically more than 200 metres 220 yd and use satellite imagery instead of census blocks to determine the boundaries of the urban area in less developed countries which in addition to land use and density requirements a requirement that a large majority of the population typically 75 is not engaged in agriculture and or fishing is sometimes
