The Lower Danube metropolitan area or Galaţi-Brăila metropolitan area is a proposed metropolitan area project. It will be formed from the cities of Galaţi and Brăila in Romania.[1][2] Together they have a population of about 600,000 people. An alternate name could be Lower Danube.[3]
If completed, it would represent the second-largest metropolitan zone in Romania after Bucharest. Motorways, a new airport in Vădeni, and a bridge across the Danube connecting the Brăila-Galaţi metropolitan area to Tulcea have been proposed.[4]
The metropolitan area has a border checkpoint to Moldova and Ukraine. Galaţi is located 10 km (6.2 mi) from Giurgiuleşti and 20 km (12 mi) from Reni.
