Until recently, there was no harmonized definition of ‘a city’ for Australia and other countries as well. This undermined the comparability, and thus also the credibility, of cross-country analysis of cities. To resolve this problem, in this video, the term of city is defined by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs under United Nations as urban agglomeration. That is a highly developed spatial form of integrated cities.
Australia's cities are located within its six states: New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia, Victoria, and Queensland. Each state's government is led by the Premier, and the parliament of each state can pass laws for anything not controlled by the Commonwealth. Ten Australian territories are located beyond the state borders. The mainland is made up of two territories and an offshore territory, as well as seven territories that are governed by the Commonwealth. Some of the country's external territories, including the Australian Antarctic Territory which covers 42% of Antarctica, are uninhabited.
When the Australian census is taken to get official population numbers and demographics, the national figures cover six states, three territories, Cocos Islands and Christmas Island. The most populous cities are located in New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, while the islands have populations that fall below 5,000 people. Like other countries around the world, Australia has a mix of urban, suburban, and rural areas. According to statistics in 2014, around 10% of the population lived in rural towns, showing a decrease from previous years as residents are moving to the bigger cities for job opportunities and immigrants are more apt to move to the larger cities that are found within the country. There is no correlation between the area of states and territories and population. For example, Victoria is the smallest mainland state but is the second most populous, and the area includes one of the country's most populated cities, Melbourne.
#TOP10Channel presents the video of #LargestCities in Australia (1950 - 2035) based on the most recently released by the UN population division in 2018.
