The Milan metropolitan area, also known as Grande Milano ("Greater Milan"), is the largest
54th largest in the world. It is the largest transnational metropolitan area[clarification needed] in the EU.[2] The metropolitan area described in this article is strictly statistical and, contrary to the administrative Metropolitan City of Milan
, a provincial-level municipality, does not imply any kind of administrative unity or function.
Definition
This section possibly contains original research. (January 2018) |
Given the absence of an official statistical definition for the metropolitan area of Milan, tracing precise boundaries is a somewhat slippery issue. However, during the last decade, a number of studies have been carried out on the subject by some authoritative institutions and scholars, notably the
Emilian Province of Piacenza. The overall population under the narrowest definition is about 9 million over an area of about 13,000 km2 (5,000 sq mi).[3][4][5][6]
