Metropolitan Regions

Metropolitan regions, often called metro areas, refer to urban areas that encompass a central city and its surrounding suburbs and towns. They are characterized by high population density and interconnected economies, with people commuting for work and services. These regions typically include diverse communities, infrastructure, and transportation networks. The boundaries of metropolitan regions can vary, but they generally reflect areas where social and economic interactions are strong. Understanding metropolitan regions helps in urban planning, development, and addressing challenges like housing and transportation efficiently within a connected area.
