If the urban unit is located in a single municipality, it is referred to as an isolated city.
If the urban unit extends over several municipalities, and each of these municipalities concentrates more than half of its population in the continuous built-up area, it is referred to as a multi-communal agglomeration.
If one of these municipalities concentrates less than half of its population in the continuous built-up area but concentrates 2,000 or more inhabitants there, then it will constitute an isolated urban unit. The agglomeration of Paris is the multi-communal agglomeration containing Paris. Finally, “community outside urban unit” means municipalities not assigned to an urban unit.
The current zoning, dated 2020, is established with reference to the population known in the 2017 census and the administrative geography of the territory as of 1 January 2020.
