Category:Metropolitan areas of Sweden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Metropolitan Areas of Sweden, "Storstadsområden" ("Greater City Areas" in Swedish), are statistical regions defined by Statistics Sweden. There are three of them, surrounding the three largest cities in Sweden:

• Greater Stockholm (pop.: 1,695,946),
• Greater Gothenburg (pop.: 879,298) and
• Greater Malmö (pop.: 605,000).

All three areas can also be counted to larger urban regions:

• Stockholm-Mälaren Region,
• A larger part of Västra Götaland County (including Borås) + Kungsbacka Municipality, and
• Öresund Region respectively.

These larger regions are political, not statistical regions, formed by municipalities and counties for metropolitan cooperation.
