How to use this site
Read the definition before the magnitude
The homepage gives first-time readers four quick checks; the Methodology page is the authority for definitions, comparison rules and revisions.
1. Check the boundary
A city name is not a built-up area. Municipalities can include suburbs and rural land; ports and airports may use operational scopes.
2. Separate price bases
Levels are often current-price; growth is often constant-price. Do not back out real growth from nominal levels.
3. Compare like with like
Cross-country ranks prefer one dataset edition and one definition; mixed sources are labelled as limited.
4. Send corrections
Broken links, unclear definitions or suspected typos: use Contact and include an official source when possible.
