  <dc:title>Construct Flexible Urban Delineations</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package flexurba version 0.2.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Enables the construction of flexible urban delineations that
    can be tailored to specific applications or research questions, see Van
    Migerode et al. (2024) &lt;DOI:10.1177/23998083241262545&gt; and Van Migerode
    et al. (2025) &lt;DOI:10.5281/zenodo.15173220&gt;.
    Originally developed to flexibly reconstruct the Degree of
    Urbanisation classification of cities,
    towns and rural areas developed by Dijkstra et al. 
    (2021) &lt;DOI:10.1016/j.jue.2020.103312&gt;. Now it also support a broader 
    range of delineation approaches, using multiple datasets – including
    population, built-up area, and night-time light grids – and different
    thresholding methods.</dc:description>
