UNITé URBAINE
In France an 'unité urbaine' (literally: "urban unit") is a statistical area defined by INSEE, the French national statistics office, for the measurement of contiguously built-up areas. According to the INSEE definition , an "unité urbaine" is a commune alone or a grouping of communes which must: a) form a single unbroken spread of urban development, with no distance between habitations greater than 200 metres, and b) have altogether a population greater than 2,000 inhabitants. Communes not belonging to an ''unité urbaine'' are considered as rural.
The French ''unité urbaine'' is a statistical area in accordance with United Nations recommendations for the measurement of contiguously built-up areas. Other international versions of this unit are the United States "Urbanized Area" and the United Kingdom and Canada's "urban area," yet definitions vary from country to country.
