	Metropolitan area (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		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 centre 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.
		The term metropolitan area is sometimes abbreviated to 'metro', for example in Metro Manila and Washington, DC Metro Area, and in that case should not be mistaken to mean the metro rail system of the city.
		In Japan, individual cities form metropolitan areas or conurbations such as the capital zone of Tokyo-Kawasaki-Yokohama (the Keihin area) or Osaka-Kobe, with which Kyoto is sometimes included as part of the wider Keihanshin zone.

		Lima is the capital and largest city in Peru, as well as the capital of Lima Province.
		The city serves as the core of the Lima Metropolitan Area, one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the Americas.

		MSAs are delineated on the basis of a central urbanized area—a contiguous area of relatively high population density.
		As of June 2003, there is now an additional classification, that of a 'Metropolitan Division.' The term metropolitan division is used to refer to a county or group of closely-tied contiguous counties that serve as a distinct employment region within a metropolitan statistical area that has a population core of at least 2.5 million.
		While a metropolitan division is a subdivision of a larger metropolitan statistical area, it often functions as a distinct social, economic, and cultural area within the larger region.

	Work together, live apart: Study shows racial divide in America's cities
		Using previously unavailable census data, a team of geographers has found that residents of one of America's largest metropolitan areas are far less racially and ethnically segregated at work than they are in their home neighborhoods, confirming what social scientists have long suspected but could not verify.
		Using 1990 federal census data from one in six homes in the five-county Los Angeles metropolitan area, researchers headed by Mark Ellis, a University of Washington geography professor, found widely divergent patterns of segregation.
		The study focused on the eight largest immigrant groups in the region — Mexicans, Salvadorans, Filipinos, Guatemalans, Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese and Iranians — and the four biggest native-born racial groups — whites, Latinos, fls and Asians.

	Census Metropolitan Area (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		A census Metropolitan area, or CMA is a Canadian census division comprising a large urban Area (known as the urban core) and adjacent areas (known as urban and rural fringes) that have a high degree of social and economic integration with the urban core.
		Once an Area becomes a CMA, it is retained as a CMA even if the population of its urban core declines below 100,000.
		This new grouping is known as a consolidated CMA, and the component CMA and CAs are known as the primary Census Metropolitan Area (PCMA) and primary Census agglomeration(s) (PCA).
