In the study of human settlements, an urban agglomeration is an extended city or town area comprising the built-up area of a central place (usually a municipality) and any suburbs linked by continuous urban area. INSEE, the French Statistical Institute, uses the term unité urbaine, which means continuous urbanized area. However, because of differences in definitions of what does and does not constitute an "agglomeration", as well as variations and limitations in statistical or geographical methodology, it can be problematic to compare different agglomerations around the world. It may not be clear, for instance, whether an area should be considered to be a satellite and part of an agglomeration, or a distinct entity in itself.
The term agglomeration is also linked to conurbation, which is a more specific term for large urban clusters where the built-up zones of influence of distinct cities or towns are connected by continuous built-up development (Essen - Dortmund and others in the Rhine-Ruhr district), even in different regions, states or countries, (Lille - Kortrijk in France and Belgium). Each city or town in a conurbation may nevertheless continue to act as an independent focus for a substantial part of the area.
South Asia or Southern Asia is a term used to represent the southern region of the Asian continent, which comprises the sub-Himalayan SAARC countries and, for some authorities, adjoining countries to the west and east. Topographically, it is dominated by the Indian Plate, which rises above sea level as Nepal and northern parts of India situated south of the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush. South Asia is bounded on the south by the Indian Ocean and on land (clockwise, from west) by West Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. The terms "Indian subcontinent" and "South Asia" are sometimes used interchangeably.
The current territories of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka form the countries of South Asia. In addition, with deviating definitions based on often substantially different reasons, the British Indian Ocean Territory, Mauritius, and the Tibet Autonomous Region are included as well. South Asia is home to well over one fifth of the world's population, making it both the most populous and the most densely populated geographical region in the world. The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation(SAARC) is an economic cooperation organisation in the region which was established in 1985 and includes all eight nations comprising South Asia.

Delhi is officially the National Capital Territory (NCT) that includes the Indian capital New Delhi, stands on the Yamuna River in northern India. It is the second most populous metropolis in India after Mumbai and the largest city in terms of area. With a population of 16.3 million in 2011, the city is also the eighth most populous metropolis in the world. Delhi is known to have been continuously inhabited since the 6th century BC. Through most of its history, Delhi has served as a capital of various kingdoms and empires. It has been captured, sacked and rebuilt several times, particularly during the medieval period, and therefore the modern conurbation of Delhi is a cluster of a number of cities spread across the metropolitan region. Delhi is believed to have been the site of Indrapras...

Michael Cohen in this lecture illustrates data about economic growth that demonstrate how cities act as engines of national economic development. Due to agglomeration economies, approximately 80 percent from global GDP is coming out of urban-based economic activities; 600 urban centers generate about 60 percent of global GDP. Yet, without the right focus, agglomeration economies can have deleterious negative externalities, such as harmful environmental effects, urban poverty, and intra-urban inequalities. This lecture suggests that the productive side of the city needs more attention in urban planning. In addition, the lecture addresses the issue of climate change, which represents a major threat to cities. Music: 'Terms', from the record 'Pennsylvania' by Glass Boy is licensed under a At...

The team determined the areas of the active urban planning development, stabilization areas, nature conservancy, zones, districts, and sectors of the functional specialization, indexed the perspective distribution of the population and working places on the planning belts, sectors and areas of urbanization. RBTA also considered the directions of improvement of administrative and territorial arrangement and administration of the Agglomeration territories. All of this was done for the estimated horizon for the concept project – 30-50 years, with the implementation of the first stag...
After a five years journey, I am very happy to launch the crowdfunding campaign to make HITORIDE a reality! HITORIDE (Literally: By yourself, Alone) is a photographic book based on the award-winning project Japan, I wish I knew your name. The project reflects on miscommunication and isolation in Japan, one of the most populated countries in the world. You can support the crowdfunding by pre-ordering your copy, or getting one of the limited edition offerings. http://www.ideastap.com/crowdfunding/project/hitoride During a brief visit to Japan in 2009 I was soon fascinated by the isolation and loneliness I was feeling in the streets. It started as a personal journey, a foreigner traveling in an alien environment. Language and cultural differences were only augmenting this distance between t...
Urban evolution in a zero kilometre society. What happens when we remove cars from the city streets? without the air and noise pollution from vehicles, the building façades can open to the public realm. People will search closer to home for their goods and services - encouraging the Makers Movement, and local production. This will lead to the agglomeration of communities and vertical growth - a community must still transport goods, and with the only option of automated transport being vertical, we will see greater density increases as communities go vertical. The Makers Movement will lead a type of urban form which changes and adapts from the human scale. As each person edits or updates their property within the vertical community, the urban form will become more unregulated, more rando...

Franz Rosati [sound + a/v programming + concept] Pathline #1 is an audiovisual live set by Franz Rosati. It represents a virtual creature with its own behavior, sound and form, used as a synthetic metaphor to depict a mutation from a natural organic landscape to an artificial urban landscape. The visual structure, composed by simple lines and dots reminds us a vegetal agglomeration such as the branch of the trees or moss agglomerate, and it morphs following those natural rules, in a constant balance between chaos and order, through three steps in which is the sound to give voice to the tension of the morphing structure. Spasms, tortions, vibrations and high speed rotations, generates distorted sound and out of control sounds of nature, suffocated by the noises of a breathing city, through...
City Design course: stepic.org/city Lectures and videos by Rill Shikhanov. Music by Mike Razumikhin. TEXT Do you know about City Design? No, seriously, do you know how to design cities? Well, “City Design” covers four topics: - Architecture including landscape architecture; - Place branding and city marketing; - City building and urban planning; - Urban geography and urban sociology. City Design answers such questions as why some cities are built up horizontally? While other cities grow up vertically. Like Dubai. The important role in studying “City Design” is assigned not only to cities, but also to citizens. It is crucial to understand that cities' population is increasing. It is even more crucial to understand why cities' population is increasing. Why some cities rise much faster?...

Best Documentary 2016 The World's Largest and Deepest Gold Mine In Human History Ever Made On Earth Mponeng is a gold mine in South Africa's North West Province. It extends over 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) below the surface, and is considered to be one of the most substantial gold mines in the world. It is also currently the world's deepest mine. The trip from the surface to the bottom of the mine takes over an hour. Over 5400 metric tonnes of rock are excavated from Mponeng each day. At a cost of $19.4 per gram of gold extracted, the mine needs to recover only 10 grams of gold per ton excavated to remain profitable. The mine contains at least two gold reefs, with the deepest one metre thick. The temperature of the rock reaches 66 °C (151 °F), and the mine pumps slurry ice underground to cool...
