Episode 37: What even is a city?

In this episode we talk cities and urbanization. Specifically how do we measure what is urban (and rural!!)? It may be a topic you've never given much thought to but—guess what?!—there are lots of folks out there who spend most or all of their time considering how to identify what is urban and what makes a city. For this episode we are joined by one of those people: Lewis Dijkstra, from the Joint Research Centre of the EU Commission, known for his work on the degree of urbanization (DEGURBA) classification.
