* Areas highlighted in red do not show officially designated green belt, but green space separating conurbations. However, it is likely some or all of the space highlighted will be green belt.
* City centres tend to be lighter in colour in satellite images. The surburbs tend to show as dark grey, probably due to all the slate coloured house roofs.

You might have heard of Leeds-Bradford Airport, which might be a clue that these two cities in Yorkshire are close to each other, if they share an airport. In fact the two cities are now completely joined as one large urban conurbation. They are linked by Pudsey in the north, and Morley / Drighlington in the south. The green area to the north of Drighlington does ensure the two cities are not completely joined up. Both cities have had large scale migration over the last 50 years. Bradford's population is currently 534,000, about 30% are from immigrant backgrounds from Pakistan etc (2011 census). The total population for this West Yorkshire urban area is 2.3 million.
