The "Liverpool Urban Area" is a term used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to denote the urban area around Liverpool in England, to the east of the River Mersey. The contiguous built-up area extends beyond the area administered by Liverpool City Council into adjoining local authority areas, particularly parts of Sefton and Knowsley. As defined by ONS, the area extends as far east as Haydock and St. Helens.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Office for National Statistics )〕 The Liverpool Urban Area is not the same area as Merseyside (or Greater Merseyside) which includes areas of Wirral on the west bank of the Mersey and Southport.〔 ==Settlements== The Liverpool Urban Area defined by ONS covers Liverpool and its contiguous built-up areas, with a population of 864,122 a considerable increase from the 2001 census mainly because of the addition of Rainford and Ashton-in-Makerfield to the urban area. The population of the area was 816,216 in the 2001 census,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Office for National Statistics )〕 which was down 2.6% from the 1991 figure of 837,998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Office for National Statistics )〕 The urban area facing Liverpool on the Wirral Peninsula is a separate division known as the Birkenhead Urban Area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Office for National Statistics )〕 The ONS definition is based purely on physical criteria with a focus on the presence or absence of significant gaps between built-up areas. It therefore extends as far as St Helens and Haydock, but excludes some areas much closer to Liverpool which are separated from it by open spaces. According to the ONS the subcomponents of the Liverpool Urban Area are: Notes: *Huyton-with-Roby was included as part of the Liverpool subdivision in the 2011 census. *Rainford and Ashton-in-Makerfield were not part of the Liverpool Urban Area in 2001 and 1991. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liverpool Urban Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
