===Urban Agglomeration===
The [[urban agglomeration]] area of Braunschweig is approximately 551,000 in 2024, making it one of the largest [[regiopolis]] in [[Germany]] and the largest one in [[Lower Saxony]]. This area includes  [[Wolfenbüttel]], [[Meine]],  northern parts of [[Salzgitter]], [[Weddel]], [[Sickte]], [[Timmerlah]], [[Lengede]] and other towns and regions within a 15 kilometer radius though Salzgitter is an exception being 20 kilometers away. The field area and green spaces are not counted because a high amount of the areas are not registered. Braunschweig's urban area makes it a bigger city compared to others with a similar size e.g. [[Aachen]], [[Wiesbaden]] or [[Gelsenkirchen]], and since the urban area is not significantly smaller than [[Hanover]], it makes itself an important and major city in [[Lower Saxony]]. Companies like [[New Yorker (clothing)|New Yorker]], [[Salzgitter AG]], [[Jägermeister]], [[Siemens]], [[Bosch (company)|Bosch]], [[Volkswagen]], [[Nordzucker]], [[Continental AG|Continental]], {{Interlanguage link|Kosatec Computer (German IT distributor)|lt=Kosatec|de|Kosatec Computer}} and others are headquartered or have a branch in this area.

The [[Metropolitan area|metropolitan]] population of Braunschweig is 1.66 million and is considered as [[Region Braunschweig]], including cities and towns such as Wolfsburg, Goslar or Gifhorn, which is the further range of Braunschweig and is not the same as the smaller ranged urban aggomeration.
The metropolitan region of Braunschweig is a subdivision of the larger [[Metropolregion Hannover-Braunschweig-Göttingen-Wolfsburg]].

Over 70% of the Germans in the urban agglomeration come from different parts of Germany with most of them coming from eastern States due to the proximity. The city is unique because unlike most cities with immigrant populations concentrated inside the city itself, higher number of migrant populations are also found in surrounding areas. Braunschweig's [[urban agglomeration]] has a higher [[Human migration|migration]] percentage compared to its city due to industrialization and other major factors since 2011. One of the largest [[Chinese in Germany|Chinese]], [[Indians in Germany|Indian]], [[Cameroonians|Cameroonian]], [[Russians in Germany|Russians]], [[Poles in Germany|Polish]], [[Vietnamese people in Germany|Vietnamese]] and [[Tunisian Diaspora|Tunisian]] communities in Germany are located in the surroundings and within Braunschweig.
