The Nottingham Urban Area is bounded to the west by a narrow gap between
Sub-divisions do not always match administrative geographic boundaries; the subdivision of Clifton for example is within the Nottingham Unitary Authority city area but is subdivided by the River Trent. The Nottingham subdivision oversteps the city's borders at several locations. Together, these two subdivisions exceed the official city population (305,680 in 2011[7]) as a result, even though West Bridgford includes the counts of city suburbs Silverdale and Wilford.[8]
In the 1991 census,[9] Ilkeston was considered outside of the Nottingham Urban Area,[10] and its addition gave the BUA an 8% increase in 2001. This was due to improvements in mapping methodology by the ONS, and is chiefly responsible for the increase in sub-divisions over censuses rather than any large scale 'bricks and mortar' building,[11] as much of the area between the cities is protected green belt and wedges, restricting actual development.[6]
