Largest metropolitan areas in the Nordic countries
The largest metropolitan areas in the Nordic countries are difficult to rank in size because the definition patterns are different from country to country.
By any definition, the metropolitan areas of Copenhagen and Stockholm will rank in top, but it is debatable which one is bigger. For example, Metropolitan Stockholm includes large sparsely populated areas (though most of it is land that because of the topography can not be developed at a reasonable cost), whereas the Stockholm urban area covers only the continuously built-up area. There are various common definitions of Metropolitan Copenhagen: the former Danish Capital Region/Copenhagen metropolitan area (defunct), followed by the smaller Capital Region of Denmark, or the yet smaller Urban area of Copenhagen.
Aarhus and the Triangle Region are both located in east jutland, they are located in both their own metro areas at the same time they are part of the larger Østjyske byregion East Jutland metropolitan area.[1][2][3][4]
Similarly, some other metropolitan areas are not defined by any fixed guidelines but rather by an estimate of economical and commuter ties between one or several cities and the surrounding region. In some cases, towns have coined names for new metropolitan regions for PR purposes.
Contrarily, the largest urban areas in the Nordic countries can be ranked by more general criteria but is however in general seldom used by official authorities in the Nordic countries.
