Hi All,

Found another article a more formal one in Lancet that gives definition on the basis of population and I quote

"Area of residence was defined as mega city (≥5 million people), large city (1 million5 million people), small city (100,0001 million people), large town (urban, 50,000100,000 people), small town (urban, <50,000 people), and all other areas were coded as rural."

The article can be seen at

I hope this suffices the requirement. It is difficult find appropriate government website which defines this such clear term.
