"Urban Area" is defined as a continuous urban area or a combination of urban areas which statistically can be considered as a single labor market.

An alternative list could adopt a different definition of "city" and rank "cities proper" which are cities with an administratively recognized urban status. However, these might stretch beyond the metropolitan area and include rural areas.
