The Milan metropolitan area, known as Grande Milano (''Greater Milan''), is the urban agglomeration around the Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy. The spatial spread of the Milan metropolitan area has greatly accelerated over recent decades. Since the 1960s, the growth of the numerous settlements around the core of the city has defined the extent and patterns of the metropolitan area, and commuting flows suggest that socioeconomic linkages have expanded even beyond the boundaries of the Province of Milan.〔(OECD Territorial Review - Milan, Italy )〕〔http://urbact.eu/fileadmin/subsites/Metrogov/pdf/Milan_s2.pdf Competitiveness of Milan and its metropolitan area〕 A single, large and increasingly widespread conurbation with the city of Milan at its hub defines the metropolitan area; however, its extent can vary greatly depending on the defining source. The Milan metropolitan area contains a population of 8,123,020 in 2013 (ISTAT ). The Milan metropolitan area is part of the so-called Blue Banana, the area of Europe with the highest population and industrial density. The metropolitan area is strictly statistical and does not imply any kind of administrative unity or function. == Definitions == One definition of the metropolitan area is the ''local labour market system'', an official definition based on commuting patterns used by Istat, consisting of 115 municipalities (''comuni'') with a total population of 2,975,754 (2001).〔(Istat - Sistemi Locali del Lavoro )〕 Another definition is synonymous with the province of Milan, with 3,869,037 inhabitants distributed over an area of .〔(Greater Milan: Dynamics and Excellence in Metropolitan Milan- Provincia di Milano )〕 According to Eurostat Urban Audit program, the larger urban zone of Milan has a population of 3,076,643.〔Eurostat ()〕 Finally, an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) territorial review of 2006 takes a more inclusive definition based on socioeconomic patterns.〔(OECD Territorial Review - Milan, Italy. Page 32: fig 1.9. )〕 They define the Milan metropolitan area as the Lombard provinces of Milan, Bergamo, Como, Lecco, Lodi, Monza and Brianza, Pavia, Varese and the Piedmontese Province of Novara. The overall population under this definition is about 7,400,000, dispersed over an area of about . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milan metropolitan area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
