concentration urbaine : Certains auteurs donnent un sens voisin mais tout de même différent à ce terme : «Grand nombre d'établissements humains dotés de structures urbaines rassemblés sur un territoire donné» (en anglais : «urban concentration») [source : CILFG-37, 1993 p. 80]. D'autres dictionnaires donnent tous ces termes comme de parfaits synonymes. On peut penser que «concentration urbaine» est un terme descriptif générique par rapport à «conurbation». 7, record 1, French, - conurbation
