	Metropolitan area information - Search.com
		A metropolitan area is a large population center consisting of a large city and its adjacent zone of influence, or of several neighboring cities or towns and adjoining areas, with one or more large cities serving as its hub or hubs.
		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.

	Capitales Fatales (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		During the 1970s and 1980s, various regional economic and social policies were deployed in the Ruhr region, which was in the midst of a particularly devastating round of deindustrialization and socioeconomic restructuring due to the "technological lock-in" of its traditional manufacturing sectors.
		In other words, the regional policies deployed during the 1970s and early 1980s in the older industrial cities were oriented, first and foremost, towards the problem of managing the social consequences of economic restructuring (for instance, unemployment and sociospatial polarization) rather than towards the problem of constructing the socio-territorial preconditions for renewed economic growth.
		The regionalization of the Standort debate in contemporary Germany therefore appears to transpose one of the core contradictions of neoliberalism from the national scale onto the subnational scales of the Länder and the municipalities.

	Getting Around Germany -- The Autobahn
		The reunification of Germany in 1990, however, put those plans on hold as the federal government focused on absorbing and upgrading the Autobahns it inherited from East Germany.
		When Germany was reunified in 1989, the Autobahns of East Germany were in virtually the same condition as they were in 1945, exhibiting the aforementioned qualities as well as inadequate signing, infrequent (and often non-functional) emergency telephones located in the center median, and service areas consisting of a dilapidated roadhouse next to a wayside.
		The Autobahn carries about a third of all Germany's traffic, but injury accidents on the Autobahn account for only 6% of such accidents nationwide and less than 12% of all traffic fatalities were the result of Autobahn crashes (2004).
