DEGURBA methodology:
- Captures the urban-rural continuum in a harmonised manner;
- Uses the same population size and density thresholds across the globe;
- Starts from a population grid to reduce the bias generated by the different shapes and sizes of spatial units;
- Measures population clusters directly; Defines areas to monitor access to services, not areas defined by access to services; and,
- Proposes a cost-effective approach.-
