A DATA COMPENDIUM FOR THE WORLD’S 100 LARGEST URBAN AREAS

In order to promote and manage efficient service delivery, and sustainable development, clear andcredible metrics for cities are essential. Metrics should include those for basic service delivery, cityresilience, GHG emissions and energy intensity, financial overview, and social equity, among others.

Most baseline statistical information is collected at the national level, whereas many important policydecisions are made and implemented at the local level. Credible and readily available data at the urbanscale is needed to shape overall urban management.

The World Bank and partners present existing key indicators for the world’s 100 largest urban areas.With regular updating of this compendium, better definition and better data quality for all key metricsshould emerge.

Figure 1. The world’s 100 Largest Urban Areas (City Mayor’s Foundation, 2006. www.citymayors.com)

The set of indicators included in this first Urban Areas Compendium has several goals – foremost ofwhich is to present “vital signs” that provide a snapshot of basic metropolitan city functions andamenities. Some of the indicators are included to monitor trends at the urban level, and progresstoward the Millennium Development Goals or future ‘Sustainable Development Goals’. The list providesa representative, but by no means complete, picture of several themes. The list is also largelydetermined by data availability.

The information for the 100 urban areas presented in this booklet represent the best data currentlyavailable; it has significant gaps and considerable ranges of estimates, particularly for GHG emissions.Given the fundamental importance of cities and urban areas to the world’s economy and environment,such paucity of data is problematic. For example, there is no consensus even on what are the world’slargest urban areas. Today there is better statistical data, for example, on Fiji (population: 860,623)1

than there is for Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai or Delhi, all of which have populations in excess of 10million.

The world’s larger urban areas are agglomerations of many local governments. Sydney, for example, is

made up of 38 local governments2. Internationally the Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney may represent‘Sydney’, however, only some 4% percent of the metropolitan population is electorally represented bythe mayor. The other 96% percent are residents of the 37 other local governments. For most of thetruly impactful urban accomplishments in transportation, energy conservation, and solid waste disposal,metropolitan or regional approaches are most effective. Therefore as cities themselves improve datareporting through direct programs like the Global City Indicators Facility (GCIF)3, a temporary ‘bestavailable data’ approach for the world’s 100 largest urban areas is proposed. As additional data andfunding warrants the list could be expanded beyond the 100 included in this Compendium.

The data presented is not new, or primary generated data, but rather is a compilation of what iscurrently collected and published by cities, agencies, and higher levels of government. Eventually ahierarchy of data credibility is likely to emerge, e.g. city reported data consistent with ISO standardsthrough agencies like GCIF would be the ‘gold standard’, while estimated values such as those presentedfor ‘missing’ GHG emissions in this inaugural compilation are intended as ‘placeholder’ values.

A compilation of the data for the world’s 100 largest urban areas is particularly important for policydevelopment and evidence based learning in cities. However, there are severe limitations to theapproach. For example, there is currently no consensus on the borders of the 100 largest urban areas,almost all of which are metropolitan areas made up of several municipalities. Urban areas might also bedefined by regional or national governments, economic hinterlands, commuter sheds, or other servicehinterlands such as employment or travel nodes.

The metrics that are included in this Compendium draw heavily on information that is already beingsubmitted by member cities to the GCIF, in order to minimize duplication of efforts and additionalburden on local governments. GCIF is now finalizing an ISO standard methodology for collection of thisdata, but many GCIF member cities have not yet released their indicators publicly. Also, as GCIF’s datafor metropolitan areas is much more robust, requiring participation by all member governments, severalyears may elapse before information is regularly published. In addition, many large cities and urbanareas may still be slow in joining GCIF. This Compendium can provide a useful interim data source.

The indicators in this Compendium broadly characterize quality of life, city services and environmentalimpacts to help provide sufficient evidence to support urban policy decisions. GCIF selected theirindicators based on input from the partner cities, to ensure that they address city priorities, informationneeds, and challenges. The indicators were also designed to be “meaningful to cities across the globeregardless of geography, culture, affluence, size, or political structure”.4

GCIF Core Indicators were adapted for the following themes:

EconomyEnergyEmissions and pollutionWater, sanitation and waste managementShelterGovernance

TransportationEducation, Technology and InnovationHealth

Additional indicators in this Compendium include:

Certain geographic and demographic characteristics;Economic data such as GDP and the Gini Coefficient of income distribution, which provides a measure ofeconomic inequality in the area;Energy consumption, energy intensity of the economy, and electricity use;GHG emissions and energy intensity of the economy;Indicators of resource efficiency (or metabolism), such as water consumption and solid waste generation;Measures of disaster risk, institutional capacity, and vulnerability (including vulnerability to the impacts ofclimate change);Infrastructure inventories and need;Other health indicators.

This Compendium is presented as the first version of what is hoped to be an annual process.Organizations such as GCIF, C40, Metropolis and national governments, as well as the individual urbanareas and their constituent local governments, are encouraged to move toward consensus on thedefinition of at least the 100 largest urban areas of the world. For this inaugural effort, the list of 100largest urban areas is taken from the City Mayors Foundation (www.citymayors.com).

The list of urban areas is expected to change as a broader consensus emerges on borders and, of course,as populations change. Refinement is expected during the next several years as GCIF develops anaggregation function for its member cities, and as national governments and city based agencies reachbroader consensus on the definition of major urban areas.

The hope is that this broad set of data will be made available by cities, updated annually, and sharedthrough related publications and websites. In particular, changes in the indicators over time will beextremely relevant for public policy decision making.
