Randstad

Also known as Deltametropool

Conurbación de los Países Bajos

AI overview

The Randstad is a large curved urban area in the central-western Netherlands that brings together the country's four biggest cities—Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht—along with their suburbs and surrounding towns, and is home to nearly half of the Dutch population. It matters because it contains some of Europe's most important economic hubs, including the world's busiest seaport outside Asia and Europe's fourth-busiest airport.

El Randstad (del neerlandés rand, ‘borde ’; y stad, ‘ciudad ’) es el nombre que recibe la mayor conurbación de los Países Bajos, a su vez una de las mayores de Europa. Hay que distinguir entre la región metropolitana de Randstad, con una población en torno a los 6,6 millones de habitantes (40 % del total de los Países Bajos), y la Región de Randstad (una asociación socio-económica) que reúne unos 8,2 millones de habitantes (casi la mitad de la población del país). Ambas entidades se extienden por las provincias de Holanda Meridional, Holanda Septentrional, Utrecht y Flevoland.
