The Metropolitan Areas of Sweden, "Storstadsområden" ("Greater City Areas" in Swedish), are statistical regions defined by Statistics Sweden. There are three of them, surrounding the three largest cities in Sweden:
- Greater Stockholm (pop.: 1,695,946),
- Greater Gothenburg (pop.: 879,298) and
- Greater Malmö (pop.: 605,000).
All three areas can also be counted to larger urban regions:
- Stockholm-Mälaren Region,
- A larger part of Västra Götaland County (including Borås) + Kungsbacka Municipality, and
- Öresund Region respectively.
These larger regions are political, not statistical regions, formed by municipalities and counties for metropolitan cooperation.
