Abstract :

In the third millennium AD, thinkers and urbanists are seeking tools to comprehend the complexities of urban spaces. Data and information have emerged as the language for understanding the spatial behavior of cities and the primary tool for analyzing their complexities. Therefore, this research aims to highlight the significance of statistical sources, including urban statistics, for analyzing urban issues. The research employs a descriptive-analytical and inferential methodology. Data collection involved gathering documents, specifically statistical texts published by municipalities in the previous year. While there was no specific statistical population or geographic area for this study, the focus was on the statistical yearbooks of municipalities, particularly those in the central cities of provinces. Data analysis utilized content analysis and simple quantitative statistical methods. The findings reveal disparities in content and format in urban statistics, as well as the absence of a comprehensive and integrated statistical system. Further investigation uncovered inconsistencies in the preparation and compilation of urban statistics regarding time, location, and adherence to statistical standards. Additionally, many statistical data and information available in municipal statistics, such as urban competitiveness indicators and metrics for measuring progress, development, and urban planning, remain underutilized. To address these issues and achieve integrated and comprehensive urban statistics, it is recommended that cities update and publish their statistics annually, following a standardized framework consisting of 22 chapters.
