Editing Metropolitan area (section)

=== Germany ===
[[Metropolitan regions in Germany]] by definition, are the eleven urban areas that are the most densely populated areas in the [[Federal Republic of Germany]]. They comprise the major German cities and their surrounding catchment areas and form the political, commercial and cultural centers of the country. For urban centers outside metropolitan areas, that generate a similar attraction at smaller scale for their region, the concept of the Regiopolis and respectively regiopolitan area or region was introduced by German professors in 2006.
