Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What is a metropolitan area? Metropolitan areas are defined relying on the concept of Functional Urban Area (FUAs), which are composed of a city plus its surrounding areas approximating the extent of the city’s labour market (’commuting zone’).
Detailed explanation-2: -The word “metropolitan” comes from two Greek language words meaning “mother” and “city". A metropolitan area may be much larger than its inner city, and its suburbs may be smaller towns and villages which are now connected to the larger city as suburbanization has spread.
