Metropolitan regions in Germany

Metropolitan regions in Germany are groups of very busy cities and the areas around them. These places are important because they help with decisions and are centers for business and culture.

Only four cities in Germany have more than one million people living in them. These cities are Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne.

For smaller but still important cities that are not part of the big areas, there is a special idea called the Regiopolis. This idea was made in 2006 by teachers who study cities.
