term:

metropolitan region

theme: Spatial Structures

definition:

"A metropolitan region is generally considered as a region (in the administrative or geographical sense) dominated by an important metropolitan area. In spatial terms, its extension is therefore wider than that of the metropolitan area, but in some interpretations the two concepts of metropolitan area and metropolitan region have similar meanings."
