'''Helsinki metropolitan area''' ({{langx|fi|Helsingin seutu}}, {{langx|sv|Helsingforsregionen}}) or '''Greater Helsinki''' ({{langx|fi| Suur-Helsinki}}, {{langx|sv|Storhelsingfors}}) is the [[metropolitan area]] around [[Helsinki]], the [[capital city]] of [[Finland]].  It also includes the smaller [[Helsinki capital region|capital region]]. The terms Helsinki metropolitan area, Greater Helsinki, Capital region and the other terms used are not fixed and may vary in different contexts.

The metropolitan region is the largest [[Urbanization|urbanised]] area in the country with a population of approximately {{formatnum: {{#expr: ({{Data Finland municipality/population count|Helsinki}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Espoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vantaa}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Mäntsälä}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Pornainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kauniainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kirkkonummi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vihti}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Nurmijärvi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Hyvinkää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Tuusula}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kerava}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Järvenpää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Sipoo}}) /1000000 round 2 }} }} million ({{#time: Y|{{Data Finland municipality/population count|sourcedate}} }}){{Data Finland municipality|population_footnotes|Helsinki}} and is by far the most important economic, cultural, and scientific region of Finland.

Finland's main [[airline hub]] and airport, [[Helsinki Airport]], is located in the city of [[Vantaa]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Campuses - Laurea University of Applied Sciences |url=https://www.laurea.fi/en/laurea/campuses/ |access-date=2024-01-30 |website=www.laurea.fi |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=About Haaga-Helia {{!}} Haaga-Helia |url=https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/about-haaga-helia |access-date=2024-01-30 |website=www.haaga-helia.fi |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Helsinki |url=https://www.diak.fi/en/diak/organisation/campuses/helsinki/ |access-date=2024-01-30 |website=Diaconia University of Applied Sciences |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Campuses {{!}} Our campuses create an attractive learning environment |url=https://www.metropolia.fi/en/about-us/campuses |access-date=2024-01-30 |website=www.metropolia.fi |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=On campus your future starts now! {{!}} Arcada |url=https://www.arcada.fi/en/study-arcada/campus-and-study-environments |access-date=2024-01-30 |website=www.arcada.fi |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Humak University of Applied Sciences |url=https://www.humak.fi/en/}}</ref>

These regions are located in the south of Finland, on the coast of the [[Gulf of Finland]], which is a part of the [[Baltic Sea]]. They are also a part of the [[Regions of Finland|region]] of [[Uusimaa]] in Finland.

==Terminology==

===Capital Region===
{{Main|Helsinki capital region}}
In the strictest sense, the Finnish capital region consists of four [[Municipalities of Finland|municipalities]] with city title, [[Helsinki]], [[Vantaa]], [[Espoo]] and [[Kauniainen]]. It has a population of about {{formatnum: {{#expr: ({{Data Finland municipality/population count|Helsinki}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Espoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vantaa}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kauniainen}}) /1000000 round 2 }}}} million. This area is most often called the ''Capital region'' in English, ''Pääkaupunkiseutu'' in Finnish, and ''Huvudstadsregionen'' in Swedish, although the use of the terms is not especially consistent. The vast majority of the inhabitants live in the [[Urban area|urban areas]] of the cities, but within the boundaries of these cities there are also [[suburb]]an and [[rural area]]s.

=== Helsinki metropolitan area ===
The Helsinki metropolitan area includes around ten additional municipalities that can be considered [[commuter town]]s and [[exurb]]s of Helsinki. These municipalities are [[Hyvinkää]], [[Järvenpää]], [[Kerava]], [[Kirkkonummi]], [[Nurmijärvi]], [[Sipoo]], [[Tuusula]], [[Mäntsälä]], [[Pornainen]] and [[Vihti]], bringing the total population to about {{formatnum: {{#expr: ({{Data Finland municipality/population count|Helsinki}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Espoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vantaa}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Mäntsälä}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Pornainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kauniainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kirkkonummi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vihti}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Nurmijärvi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Hyvinkää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Tuusula}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kerava}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Järvenpää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Sipoo}}) /1000000 round 2 }} }}&nbsp;million. All of the municipalities belong to the [[Regions of Finland|region]] of [[Uusimaa]]. Of these, [[Järvenpää]], [[Kerava]], [[Tuusula]], [[Nurmijärvi]], [[Sipoo]], [[Kirkkonummi]], [[Mäntsälä]] and [[Vihti]] have parts of the urban area within them. Additionally, the cities of [[Porvoo]], [[Lohja]], [[Karkkila]] and to some extent [[Riihimäki]], which have very close ties, motorway and, in the case of Riihimäki, commuter train accesses, and are fairly close to the capital, are nowadays often included in regional planning, which raises the total population to about {{formatnum: {{#expr: ({{Data Finland municipality/population count|Helsinki}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Espoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vantaa}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Mäntsälä}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Pornainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kauniainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kirkkonummi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vihti}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Nurmijärvi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Hyvinkää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Tuusula}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kerava}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Järvenpää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Sipoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Porvoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Lohja}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Karkkila}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Riihimäki}}) /1000000 round 2 }} }}&nbsp;million.

=== Helsinki sub-region ===
{{Main|Helsinki sub-region}}
Helsinki metropolitan area differs from the [[Helsinki sub-region]] ({{langx|fi|Helsingin seutukunta}}), which also includes the municipalities of [[Karkkila]], [[Lohja]] and [[Siuntio]]. The Helsinki sub-region is used for [[Statistics|statistical]] purposes. It is based on cooperation between municipalities and the [[commuting]] area. The sub-region has a population of about {{formatnum: {{#expr: ({{Data Finland municipality/population count|Helsinki}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Espoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vantaa}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Mäntsälä}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Pornainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kauniainen}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kirkkonummi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Vihti}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Nurmijärvi}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Hyvinkää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Tuusula}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Kerava}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Järvenpää}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Sipoo}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Lohja}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Siuntio}} + {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Karkkila}}) /1000000 round 2 }} }} million.

=== Helsinki Region Cooperation Assembly  ===

The Helsinki Region Cooperation Assembly is a cooperative body of the municipalities of the Helsinki Region, whose members are the leading elected representatives of the municipalities. Seventeen municipalities participate in cooperation in the Helsinki Region:<ref name="Helsinki-Region-Cooperation-Assembly">{{Cite web|url=https://www.hel.fi/en/decision-making/information-on-helsinki/cooperation/helsinki-region-cooperation-assembly|title=Helsinki Region Cooperation Assembly|publisher=City of Helsinki|date=|website=Information of Helsinki|access-date=17 March 2024}}</ref>

* Cities in the Helsinki Capital Area:<ref group="note">The official Finnish and Swedish conventions use the term "capital" ({{langx|fi|pääkaupunkiseudun kaupungit}}, {{langx|sv|huvudstadsregionens städer}}), although the unofficial English translation uses the term "metropolitan".</ref> Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen.
* The "KUUMA municipalities": Järvenpää, Nurmijärvi, Tuusula, Kerava, Mäntsälä, Pornainen, Hyvinkää, Kirkkonummi, Vihti and Sipoo.
* Partnership municipalities: Porvoo, Lohja and Siuntio.

The common goal of the participating municipalities is to develop cooperation and advocacy. The cooperation is based on the common vision of the municipalities in the Helsinki region regarding the challenges facing the region and the common will to contribute to the development of the region.<ref name="Helsinki-Region-Cooperation-Assembly"/>

As a part of the urban audit project, [[Eurostat]] has attempted to standardise the concept of a 'metropolitan area'. According to this study the Metropolitan area of Helsinki consists of the kernel of Helsinki: Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, and Kauniainen. The Helsinki Larger Urban Area (''Helsingin seutu'' in Finnish) consists of 12 cities and municipalities: the kernel of Helsinki and the aforementioned eight municipalities.<ref>http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/dsis/urbstat/library?l=/urban_audit_reports/urban_audit_2006/final_reportpdf_18/_EN_1.0_&a=d{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Accessed on 2008-09-08.</ref> In addition to that, there are people from as far as [[Lahti]] and even [[Tampere]] commuting to Helsinki daily.

Statistics Finland also defines the [[Helsinki urban area]] according to the official [[Urban areas in Finland|Finnish definition of an urban area]] ({{lang|fi|taajama}} in Finnish). Urban areas in Finland are defined as inhabited areas of at least 200 people with a maximum distance of {{convert|200|m}} between buildings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stat.fi/ajk/tiedotteet/v2008/tiedote_001_2008-01-15.html|title=Taajamissa asuu 84 prosenttia väestöstä|website=[[Statistics Finland]]|date=15 January 2008|access-date=20 February 2017|language=fi}}</ref><ref>[[Facta (encyclopedia)]] part 16, page 203, ''finnish''</ref> The Helsinki urban area is the largest of its kind in Finland, and encompasses land throughout metropolitan area, with notable gaps around forests and other less-densely populated areas.

The commuter towns of [[Lohja]] and [[Porvoo]] are not usually included to the Helsinki metropolitan area, though, if they were (considering their proximity to Helsinki and their high commuting rate), they would raise the overall population almost two million people. [[Hyvinkää]], [[Järvenpää]], [[Nurmijärvi]], [[Tuusula]], [[Mäntsälä]] and [[Pornainen]], which have been designated as municipalities in Central Uusimaa in recent decades, have shown clear population growth due to their urban but also loose rural environment. These are also known as the "KUUMA municipalities".<ref>[https://www.kuuma.fi/ Kuuma.fi]</ref>
