Paris Metropolitan Area
The Paris metropolitan area () is a statistical area that describes the reach of commuter movement to and from Paris, France and its surrounding suburbs. Overview In 2020, France's national INSEE statistical bureau introduced the concept "aire d'attraction d'une ville" ( functional area), replacing the former "aire urbaine" (urban area). A functional area consists of an urban cluster and the surrounding commuting zone. This concept is consistent with the functional urban area as defined by Eurostat. Created and used from 1996 by France's national INSEE statistical bureau to match international demographic standards, the ''aire urbaine'' (literally: 'urban area') was a statistical unit that described the suburban development around centres of urban growth. In 2011, the INSEE reclassified its largest ''aires urbaines'' into ''aires métropolitaines'' (literally: metropolitan areas) and ''grandes aires urbaines'' ('large urban areas'). With this change, the Paris metropolitan a ...
