Urban agglomeration
“An urban agglomeration is a continuous urban spread that consists of a town and its outgrowths (OGs), or two or more physically contiguous towns, with or without outgrowths. According to the 2001 Census, an Urban Agglomeration must have at least one statutory town and a total population of 20,000 people (including all constituents). Similar other combinations have been treated as urban agglomerations in varying local conditions, satisfying the basic condition of contiguity.”
