Perspectives on Identifying and Defining Urban, Suburban, and Rural Areas - Paper session (2 parts)
Primary Session Organizer: Michael Ratcliffe, U.S. Census Bureau
There is no standard definition of urban, suburban, or rural. Researchers, organizations, and government agencies have applied different concepts, criteria, and methods for defining these categories. And, yet, these are geographical categories and landscapes each of us perceives and can describe. The presentations in these two sessions explore what makes places urban or rural, how individuals self-define their context, and various ways to define the urban and rural landscape.
