Largest urban areas of the European Union

This is a list of urban areas in the European Union with over 500,000 inhabitants as of 2014. This list is an attempt to present a consistent list of population figures for urban areas in the European Union. Figures here have been compiled by Demographia and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Demographia provides figures for urban areas (including conurbations), while the UN DESA figures are for agglomerations only. For comparison, Function Urban Area (FUA) population figures by Eurostat are also provided, however, these measure the wider metropolitan areas.
