Metropolitan region
A metropolitan area usually combines an agglomeration (the contiguous built-up area) with peripheral zones not themselves necessarily urban in character, but closely bound to the center by employment or commerce. These zones are also sometimes known as a commuter belt, and may extend well beyond the urban periphery depending on the definition used. It is mainly the area that is not part of the city but is connected to the city. For example, faridabad , gurgoan would be added to delhi metro area. While it is not the same city, its socioeconomic identity is intimately tied to that of Los Angeles.
