It is urbanized area, not metropolitan area.

"City" for the purposes of international comparison, is defined as a more or less unified agglomeration of contiguous urbanized people, with a significant non-urban buffer separating them city another "city". Even this is imperfect, as two cities can expand to overlap each other, but at least it is a useful start.

It is a silly exercise of futility to use a hundred or more narrow and technical definitions of "city", depending on what the authorities in each country and even some subnational regional entities, use as legal guidelines in organizing their municipalities.

There is no point trying to discuss anything with anyone who insists that Fort Worth is a bigger city than Detroit or Boston, or that Tucson is a bigger city than Atlanta, simply because laws of municipalities in their respective states use different criteria to define cities.
