We establish uniformization results for metric spaces that
are homeomorphic to the Euclidean plane or sphere and have locally
finite Hausdorff 2-measure. Applying the geometric definition of quasiconformality,
we give a necessary and sufficient condition for such spaces
to be QC equivalent to the Euclidean plane, disk, or sphere. Moreover,
we show that if such a QC parametrization exists, then the dilatation
can be bounded by 2. As an application, we show that the Euclidean
upper bound for measures of balls is a sufficient condition for the existence
of a 2-QC parametrization. This result gives a new approach
to the Bonk-Kleiner theorem on parametrizations of Ahlfors 2-regular
spheres by quasisymmetric maps.
