Map of the Newport Urban Area with subdivisions

The Newport Built-up area (previously known in official statistics as the Newport Urban Area) is an area of land defined by the

Blackwood. It does however exclude physically detached urban areas within the city boundaries, such as Marshfield
.

The detailed methodology of the process used across the UK by ONS in 2011 is set out in 2011 Built-up Areas - Methodology and Guidance, published in June 2013. It is summarised as "..a ‘bricks and mortar’ approach, with areas defined as built-up land with a minimum area of 20 hectares (0.2 km2 / 0.077 mile2), while settlements within 200 metres of each other are linked. Built-up area sub-divisions are also identified to provide greater detail in the data, especially in the larger conurbations."[1]

The total population of the built-up area defined on this basis in 2011 was 306,844,

23rd largest conurbation in England and Wales
and the 2nd largest in Wales.
